Re: [Harp-L] Re: How much do you need to hear yourself while gigging?

You need to hear yourself a lot while gigging. If you can't, the first  thing 
usually done is to start blowing/sucking and harder, rather than  
inhaling/exhaling. Once you are forced in this direction, you might as well hang  it up, 
as there goes all the tone, nuance and control.
 
Best is to promote the movement of TURN DOWN EVERYONE and PLAY  QUIETER.
 
Check out those old blues videos w/Muddy Waters or that Chicago Tribute  
Band. The whole band plays nice and easy, making it almost effortless to create  
beautiful sounds on the harmonica.
