Who out there plays harmonica? What kind of harp, and what kind of music do you play? Who are your harmonica heroes? Do you have any "tricks-of-the-trade" you would share?

I play diatonics only, usually blues harps and some Marine Band, cross-harp style. I play a lot of shuffle blues, also rock n roll and country. I usually play A and D harps to accompany my vocals, using Unisphere mics for both vocal and harp, playing harp through the PA with treble knocked way back and a windscreen on the mic. Anyone use a separate amp for harp? I am a great admirer of the harp work of Sonny Terry, Paul Butterfield, Charlie Musselwhite and Howard Levy.
