Hi,
This is something I absolutely agree with and harp players are often CLEARLY 
guilty of listening to absolutely nothing else BUT harp players, and it's 
quite ironic that the large majority of their heroes often have been 
listening to other instruments for inspiration and then adapted techniques 
from other instruments to the harmonica and the classic case in point is 
probably the one harp player most guys are totally obsessed with sounding 
more like: Little Walter.
