Definitely agree too. MY choice is to listen mostly to saxophonists - which 
 I did long before even thinking about returning to playing harmonica  
(chromatic), so it wasn't a specific choice for harmonica playing. I still think 
 of my chromatic as simply another 'horn'. Listen to someone like Michael  
Peloquin who plays both and you can easily make the connections.
 
 
Chris Michalek preached this same mantra here all the time, if anyone  
remembers... and I was glad to hear his take on it since it so jibed with my own 
 thoughts.
 
 
Toots can do NO wrong in my book. Bluesette is stuck in permanent rotation  
in my head.

I will take this one to the  bank...

"But the BEST advice I can give came from Toots himself...he  said,

"Stop listening to harmonicas players, listen to "great players"  and 
develop YOUR own voice on the instrument"

Best,
