I just watched the interviews with Steve Guyger and Rod Piazza and they both mentioned Doug Bush and a technique called Curl Tonguing, what is that? Also what about an interview with Doug Bush? Thanks.

This is known as U-Blocking and is not a technique taught... it doesn't offer any advantages or new sounds to the harmonica player. I'll keep Doug in mind, thanks.
