Re: [Harp-L] Trippy harp experiences

[icemanle@xxxxxxx]

When traveling the world in 1973 (with a harmonica in my pocket), I found myself in Goa, India, along with a lot of other wandering hippies from all over the world. We congragated on the beach at night. One particular night, acharacter calling himself "The Doctor", appeared with an eyedropper bottle full of liquid LSD and a flashlight. He would walk up to you, introduce himself, and ask if you wanted 1 drop or 2. Then he would ask you to say "Ahhh" as he shone the flashlight down your mouth and give you a drop or 2 of his medicing. I spent the next 3 hours sitting on the beach with my knees drawn up, head between them, staring at the glistening sand sparkles in the moonlight and played harmonica quietly. It was here that I made many breakthroughs in understanding bending technique and tone.
 
A trippy experience, indeed.

Probably the Mockingbird,  no doubt. I'll bet that was cool.  Once I was 
practicing breathe control and passed out holding a 2 draw note for a count of 
60 - woke up and for a brief few minutes after, I could o'blow any hole and play 
like Jason R - no wait, maybe I was still 'out' then.
