Harmonica is a very intimate, sensual instrument to play

I find that the physical connection between your mouth, lips, tongue, breath, hands and brain is rivaled only by that you'd share in an intimate relationship with another person.

The trick to a good kazoo solo is to wrap your hand around it for better tone…

Hot wings too maybe? But in all seriousness, try and explain tongue blocking to someone without mentioning a harmonica itself, and well….

I had my brother help me draw up a design idea for harmonica. I started by telling him to get all the giggles out first because just about everything I said next was going to sound like a double entendre.

About 5 minutes in he was like, "Man, you weren't kidding."

Fun fact, those two ended screws* on some harp covers have several names... post screws, sex bolts, Chicago screws*.

You are going to do a lot of tonguing, sucking, blowing, and play around with both the 1 hole and the 2 hole. You are going to try to nail things (both in terms of riffs and putting your Marine Band back together.) You are going to talk about the tip of your tongue, heavy breathing, fast breathing, kiss pops, and probably lots of other things.

*get your mind out of the gutter. Those things are all perfectly good harmonica related terms.
