Re: [Harp-L] Musselwhite overblowing or alternate harptuning?

[Bobbie Giordano <bogio@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks... I was emailing Charlie just last night on other stuff, so I 
felt I'd pass on word of this discussion going on here.  He has had ears 
to Harp-L's goings-on in the past, and I'm sure he tuned in a bit if he 
could, so you may just be right, Mox.

Among other comments about Ludo's questions, I asked him, "However, would 
you have any insight to give regarding his reported impressions?  Have 
you begun using overbends... or maybe you already have more than we 
know?  Ludo got me curious now, too. ;)

He answered that he can play the overblow, but for some reason just never 
thinks of it when he's playing live.  But, when playing at home or in a 
hotel room, he might "consciously make" himself "incorporate" the 6-hole 
overblow for fun.

He didn't say, however, whether he did or not play that overblow you 
heard, Ludo, on Blues for Yesterday.  Perhaps he'll drop by and let us 
know for sure. :)

Cheers!
