Re: [Harp-L] Harmonica for Dummies

[George Miklas <harmonicat@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have no stake in this discussion, except to say (most respectfully) that
you guys might be thinking through this diagram with a little too much
"nuts and bolts" knowledge about the harmonica.

Think of it this way.... When you exhale (blow) your head and whole body go
into a slumped position.  And when you inhale (draw) your whole body
expands to erect.  So it makes sense to me that the diagram in
the "Harmonica For Dummies" book, the author designed the diagram for the
true "dummy" or beginning harmonica player.

Respectfully,
George
