I'm talking about the notes he's hitting on an "A" harp in 1st position, 
around 2:28 minutes into the clip.

What kind of bends are these. Simple blow bends? draw bends? overblows?

It seems that rather than spend a lot of time "up there", most players, even 
the better ones, just make "excursions" for the sake of having done so, once 
or twice during the song.

Then there's Jimmy Reed.

Maybe I should just ignore the low notes for a while, and let those "lonely 
notes" up the scale have some of my attention.

P.S.,,by the way, thanks to everyone on harp-l for taking my harpfession 
(harp confession). Whew. I was carrying a lot of harpguilt around for so 
long. I'm feeling much better now.
