MARK D GEEHAN gave us the results of the pucker/tongue block survey:

Tangentially:

How many of us pucker-ites are former players of an instrument that 
required an embrochure? I'm a (very) ex-trumpeter myself, and I found 
it easy enough to pucker up and play single notes, but I've yet to 
get the hang of the tongue-blocking thing.

Of course, following the wisdom of the list, I am practising,
practicing, practising (all the way to Carnegie Hall).
