Correct. And I never meant it to be. I wanted to do doo-wop and  
didn't want to switch harps in 2nd & 3rd positions. (Btw, changing  
the 5 & 9 doesn't work too well for first.. lolol).

Correct, you need the 9 'blue note' AS IS. The 5 can always be sucked  
down...into submission...on all but the very fast tunes.
