Mild Curiosity

Great tips related to practice time etc. David and much appreciated but ............

In addition to "hands on" (or is it mouth on?) practice time, there's mic/amp set up, cupping the mic work, listening to other jam tracks submitted here and on other sites, reading and responding to forums (like this), cleaning/gapping harps etc. So is this part of practice routines? I probably spend at least an hour each day on this stuff in addition to actually playing practice. Am I alone (which I doubt)

or is this a case of "Hi, my name is Hank and I'm a learning harp player" ;-))
