I was fiddle fartin' around and I discovered this riff I believe everyone should be familiar with.

Yeah, that movies great. My mom had my watch it with her, she grew up on that movie (we even made a trip to the tower on our way to Cheyenne WY last summer). I played that riff on my harp the whole way just to bug her. I played it differently though, which means my way was probably wrong because yours sounds more correct.

I played it on my C harp. I don't know if the higher harps would be any better?
The challenge is to play it fast.

I know the riff. What's the name of the movie though? It kinda sounds like the sound of bells of old standing clocks.

I am from South Carolina.

You are correct. I believe the movie was back in 1977 which would put me at 11yrs old.

A little easier to play (one less multi-hole jump) if you sub 3B for the 2d.

OK, how about this one....
