RE: [Harp-L] playing in your mouth was: playing with your nose

["dfwhoot" <dfwhoot@xxxxxxxxx>]

We have a member of our Hoot club that will play the melody with one harp in
the mouth and play harmony with one out of his nose. To prove it was not a
fluke he then played the melody from his nose and whistled the harmony. This
guy is an engineer.

Sam Hinton, amongst many others. He does a wonderful version of
"Arkansas Traveler" played this way, accompanying himself on guitar.
Real Audio and Windows Media clips of it can be heard here:
