Learning Dilemma

Hi David,
I've been playing on and off since high school days, then two years ago, picked up the harmonica again and started playing more seriously. I can play a bunch of easy songs with some blusey melodies, but my dilemma is that I learned the harmonica upside down ( with the scale on the bottom), but got used to it after all those years and have been playing that way since I started. Shoud I turn the harmonica the right side up and start to r e-learn the harmonical the correct side up, or just stick with the way I've been playing all these years?
Thanks so much,
Wesley

Thanks David,
Feel so much better now that I don't have to unlearn the way I've been playing all those years!
Thanks again,
Wesley
Hello Wesley. Keep playing that way. Quite a few players played like that... Paul Butterfield and William Clarke just to name two. When I give directions (like tongue block to the left), reverse it (tongue block to the right) and you're good to go.
