I have continued to feel like saying yes to the things which at one time seemed imposable....bending notes, chromatic, play and sing, gtar (piano)and harp in the rack,&  now toothless. i dug the reels and jigs greatly to my suprize.... thanks for inspiration   your brother Ben AKA WBjr
a friend of mine, probably the best (and best known) harp player in this 
neck of the woods,
lost all of hit teeth years ago and had to learn all over again how to 
play.  he used the
time to become a tongue blocker, which he'd never done before.  worked 
out great for
him.  so hang in there, it'll be worth all the effort.  good luck.
