[Harp-L] Red Herrings

[Jonathan Ross <jross38@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I often think overblows when used to describe what is more a style  
than a technique as Nick did is actually a red herring.  To me, there  
are two distinct (and not always related) issues: overbends as a  
technique and playing the diatonic "chromatically" as a style.   
Arguing against the former seems silly to me--like arguing against  
tongue-blocking or hand tremolo.  It's a technique, a means to an  
end, no more no less.  Debating the merits of the later is a much  
more fertile ground, though one probably over-tilled on harp-l.
