[Harp-L] Humming and blowing

[Howard Chandler <chandler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Driving to work today an old Jethro Tull song came on and reminded me 
of  how I stumbled on a kind of neat harp technique.

Back when 'Tull was big, I remember trying to play flute in that style 
that Ian Anderson kind of got famous for doing.  He would simultanoisly 
blow into the flute while humming the tune.  Well, I gave up on the 
flute (I couldn't get past that light headedness thing,) but I also 
applied the technique on harp with a measure of success.  That is, I 
thought it sounded cool.  I know I wasn't the first to try this; it was 
more like "Hmm, that's how they get that sound.". 

Anyway, I just thought mention it.
