Very good question, Mikael!  All I can say is those poor souls are really
missing the boat.  "Swingin' Easy, Hittin' Hard" is easily the best
harmonica-centric CD I've heard in some time.  Destined to live in posterity
amongst the greatest.  Truly!

Sheesh!  After listening his new CD and spending some time "studying" with
PT at the recent Rocky Mountain Harpfest I was stimulated, nay, ~compelled~
to go into hock and buy a whole set of equal-tuned harps that I've since
half-valved (never had much use for equal-tuned harps before).  Playing a
half-valved diatonic PT-style has opened up a whole new world to me.  Like
discovering a whole 'nother half of the same old 10 hole harps I've been
playing all this time.  Revelatory!  Thanks for showing us ~the way~, PT!

> Great job PT!

That's putting it mildly!
