Hmmmm, I always thought Ronnie was a pucker player, aside from 
tongue blocked octaves.  It looks to me in the video "Blues 
hamronica lesson 1 ( G harmonica)" [sic] where he's talking about 
how to bend that he's pretty obviously puckering there.  He also 
talks about moving the tongue back in the mouth, which of course you 
can't do if your tongue blocking.

JP used to teach and run a little music school here in Austin (TX), 
and of course, plays locally, but I understand he's moved to Hawaii 
now, and teaches by distance learning.
