[Harp-L] Breathing

[maurice richard libby <blues@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All this talk about abdominal breathing, etc got me to thinking. I have 
always been the singer in the bands I have been in (unfortunate for them) 
but i never really got any good at all at either singing or harp until I 
started t study Martial Arts. If you are lucky enough to find a teacher who 
actually knows what they are doing (as opposed to one who thinks he/she is 
a coach and that  Martial Arts is just a funky sport) you will learn all 
you need to know about breathing and breath control. For that and a few 
other reasons training in Karate and Tai Chi made me a better musician than 
I ever was before.
