[Harp-L] …What's Your "Schtick?"

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

Well, to the extent i have one, it's playing the whole harp--all 10  
holes.  Not many diatonic players actually do that.  i don't mean  
just biting off a blow bend on the top end every now and then (I  
actually don't even use blow bends very much anyway).  I mean   
PLAYING coherent scale tones, chord tones and extension tones through  
all 3 registers at will, using the whole instrument if and when it  
fits the material and in a manner that fits the material.

The audiences (and even other musicians) seem really impressed by  
that because they don't usually hear the harp played that way.

Maybe i should wear a costume ???  Or learn to OB  ????
