Re: [Harp-L] 4 Blow Reed Failures - Is it just me?

[MundHarp@xxxxxxx]

I've played my harmonica with many great guitarists, back in the '60's from  
Jimmi Hendrix, Lightning Hopkins, Rory Gallaher... I'm dyslexic, probably  
spelt names wrong.
There is no way you could tell Hendrix "Turn it down man"...
If you are up against a loud guitarist, you are going to "blow out" your  
harp in just a few minutes. It's NOT bad technique. It is simply, the only way  
to contribute to the tune.
