well, I'm just not good enough to pull off really odd things like Junior Wells. I can make the sounds I hear other players do, and the usual trills and fast bits aren't hard, but popping in and out very discreetly is.
   I also think Dylan does what he does very effectively, but it's loose and street-noisy. Like his voice--he knows his idiom so well he gets more musicality than you'd think possible from his instruments.

Guess I'm trying to learn what the essence of my using a harmonica is--I like that sax-like slither, and those odd harmonies that you might not logically choose, but you'll add in some stray notes just because they're there.

For example, I used to have trouble doing that blues guitar hammer-flutter thing, so I decided it was a cliche and I wouldn't do it on principle. But as you get past technical stumblings you have to think about things like that again. I'm getting better with the racked harp, and I'm trying to get past impressing myself, see if I can learn to really use it nicely.
