Marvelous, Sam, though I'm having a little trouble with the transmission.
The two melodies complement each other, and of course, the history of BLACK ORPHEUS derives from Orson Welles' stay in Brazil in 1942. A few years ago, a visually ravishing widescreen Brazillian re-make, ORFEU, came and went without much due respect. A lot of the same music was used.
Carry on! I think that the harmonica may be my favorite instrument to listen to. I love it, also, in symphonic settings such as Ralph Vaughn Williams' "Romanza."
