 do you use "ta" or "ka" on your foot?



I had a momentary lapse of mental 
faculty and came to with a foot in my mouth.

Sorry Iceman, I knew you were replying, but I had a momentary lapse of mental 
faculty and came to with a foot in my mouth.

a misquote - I responded to someone else who asked about the attack.....






>The Iceman asked: "Is the best attack on a single? note the "ta" using the 

tongue 



>or "ka" coming from the throat?....what's the? most common? "









Me,?I prefer the?"ta"

I think with me, this was something I learned in band when I was a kid. We were 

taught to make stacatto notes with a click of the tongue. I was learning to play 


harmonica at the same time, so it naturally carried over. 

So that's how I became a "ta, ta" man.
