Hats off Nick!! I hear ya, and know how that feels. I remember the first time I hit a full three hole bend all the way down. At first I thought I jacked up my harp cause it didn't sound right. Then I realized that it was bottoming out on the lowest bent note. I thought, holy *&#@!! Ijust hit the deep bend!! I was so excited I lifted my head and proclaimed my achievement to the first and only person standing around. A 7 year old kid taking a walk in the park with his mom. Yea, they thought I'd gone mental.
Great feeling though! Keep on keepin on mate.

: Hi Guys
: Another rainy day in England (same as always) so I thought I'd spend some time talking with me adopted harmonica family.
: You know sometimes when your practising hard and you finally get there,you just want to run into the street and hug the first person you see...my postman thinks I'm mad!!Take for instance a Steve Baker (check him out) c.d. that comes with his book "The harp handbook" he plays some train riffs first slowly and then fast.well the first time I heard him play it fast,I said to myself "you're having a laugh mate!" I kept at it though and last night without even thinking about it I picked up my harp and just did it....."YES!!" Where's that postman!
: I'd love to hear your stories
