Well I can say something new. I frequently played the harmonica in pub sessions with the harp held in my left hand but jammed against my right inner wrist with the right hand cupped over my ear. When you have the fiddle belting out next to you and the strummers strumming away like buggery, you can easily lose your own sound in the mix. I was often accused of having an affectation but I took no notice of the ignorantes.
