i dont know about 5 but i think every harp player must know oh susana i had played harp for 6 months and a couple of paying gigs but only knew improv finally i decided to learn oh susana cause any beginers pamplet has that song in it,i think its a must,sence then ive learned a few other tunes that can be played alone next to a tip bucket lol mary had a little lamb,saint go marching,drunken sailor,Amazing grace 2nd pos,PLanexty Irin,and Ode to joy,IM kinda liking non blues tunes as something that can be played sometimes for a change or some change lol

king bee, mannish boy, mind your own business, you got to move, anything by jimmy reed. Theme from Rosanne and all the fill licks during the episodes are pretty cool too.
