RE: [Harp-L] a question

["Chris Michalek" <Chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Honestly, I think it sounds like crap. I'm not some shmuck who can't
do it and in fact since I am extremely arrogant and I know that I sit
on the top of the Overblow heap I feel that I have license to make
such a remark.

There is no reason to play anything in extended positions when a
better sounding solution is potentially sitting in your case of
harps. What's the point of playing Autumn Leaves or Scrapple from the
Apple in twelve keys other than as an exercise? Really? The harmonica
has a thin enough sound on it's own why make it worse with unstable
notes?

I'm not bashing on you Tinus or any other ob'er.  I speak from
experience and I speak as a person who can actually do it but chooses
not to.
