demiurgic harmonica players

[rainbowjimmy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

You can be a cutting edge player and not use overblows. In fact most of the
cutting edge playing (Little Walter, Paul Butterfield, Norton Buffalo) in the
past didn't involve overblow. Any musical style that doesn't have harp is ripe
for exploration and most of these styles don't require chromatic playing. 

You can also be a traditional 2nd position player and overblow-they fit well in
blues.

Right now I need to work on tone, vibrato, and intonation. I don't have time to
work on overblows, don't want to switch from LO harps, and don't want to learn
how to set up my harp. With the styles I play-rock, funk, electronica,
downtempo, this is the best use of my time.

Overblows look like a lot of fun so in the future I'll make the plunge.
