[Harp-L] Whistle it, play it

[slyou65@xxxxxxxxx]

As a youth I learned to whistle simple tunes to people singing and music on the radio. At the age of twelve I got my first Marine Band in C. I was eventually able to play almost any song I could whistle, disregarding bends, flats and sharps. <br/><br/>As I added to my MB all-keys arsenal my accuracy became much better until I was able to play almost every song I whistled. Sans switching keys within a song. I always played first position. <br/><br/>Charley McCoy became my favorite player but I really never "got" how he played notes unavailable on my harmonicas.  Years of frustration passed before I learned about positions     and new doors opened for me. I am enjoying these position challenges and am diving into uncharted waters with renewed interest and hopefully expanded talents. <br/><br/>Only time, and my wife's patience, will determine my pinnacle. <br/><br/>Whistling is my learning preference. <br/><br/>Lockjaw Larry<br/>Renewing techniques
