Questions are good, so please ask all you want.  It's the answers  
people usually have problems with.  Also, sometimes topics just get  
no response for reasons unrelated to the list: people are busy,  
forget to post until a few days go by, etc...

For DVDs I'd recommend both of Madcat's tutorials, especially the  
rhythm one:

Scroll down to the DVD section.  This reminds me, I need to buy a few  
of these CDs--Madcat's been busy.

While not a DVD, I think Jerry Portnoy's three-CD set is an excellent  
introduction to the instrument as well as something that you can  
refer back to over time to refresh your playing:

I'd also highly recommend buying Steve Baker's "Harp Handbook":

http://www.amazon.com/Harp-Handbook-Steve-Baker/dp/0711949190

Every harmonica player should own a copy of this.

Hope this helps.
