Loved it! Sweet tone and phrasing. How much of pucker/tongue blocking do you use? How do you cup the mic: one or both thumbs up?

Congratulations, you got some serious talent man!

Martic:
I`m a pucker. I only use tongue blocking for octave splitting or tongue flutter stuff.
My cupping is more traditional, like the cupping without mic, but my thumbs never lay on the holes of the harmonica! I know some of the players do it that way, but this doesn`t work for me.

I'm guessing 2 8" speakers. You have a very James Harmon-ish sound to my ear. Very nice!!

Jbone: Thanks for your kind words. I love James Harman and his style of playing. His Strictly LIVE 1985 was one of my first albums with a harmonica player and he still blows me away.

In the description of my video you`ll find a link where you can see inside-pictures from the suitcase amp. It has only one speaker.
