====================

Sugar Blue, Paul Oscher and Dennis Gruenling are 100% tongue blockers. (S.B. 
and P.O. told me this to my face, D.G. in an e-mail and numerous times on 
list). In your eyes, are these guys boring harp players with no vision 
whatsoever?
No embouchure is inherently faster or slower. It's what you are used to, the 
way you learned to play that counts.
