A lady sent me this brief cut from a show in Bristol during Race Week. The Friday evening events were wrapping up and people were just coming in as we started. If you ever get a chance to play in front of race fans please do. They love it. Turned into one of our best parties ever.

Just wanted to share to see what you all think of the tone of my rig. I'm using an Harpgear 50 amp and my bulletized 57 with wireless from Greg. Pretty original idea, don't ya think?..lol

At times I can hear my seal leaking when I don't mean to. I'll be honest. My tilted harp, deep, lip blocked embouchure does not seal easily for me. I can do the runs from the low to the high end fine, but I don't do them here because I have a need to break the seal and change hand positions. I'm afraid I'll sound too bold on the high end if I don't break the seal. Do I need to or think I need to?

Been focusing on relaxation a lot lately. Seems like I'm never satisfied with my relaxation level. I tell my students that it's a good thing.

BTW...I'm averaging 9-11 students each week in my harmonica class. I've had 7 students not miss any since I started 7 weeks ago. I try to be patient and make things seem simple. Fun having it on a couple of picnic table inside a micro brewery.
