RE: [Harp-L] ya wanna know why?

["Smith, Richard" <rismith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The little paper in my first Hohner harmonica, showed 
both methods: pucker and tongue-block.  I tried both
and tongue-block felt weird and off-center.  Pucker 
method felt good, and centered.  Make any sense?

   Man, I gotta tell you, I would kill to learn how to play with a 
pucker, but when I started playing, the little waxed paper wrapper that 
came with the Marine Band showed tongue blocking, and since, i never 
knew (as Buzz would say "close /personal") another player for several 
decades, I had no outside influence(s).
   My question to all the pucker players would have been: What did you 
do with that little waxed paper?  :)
the ghost of smokey-joe

p.s. "would have been" , because I'm afraid to ask.
