Hello David...I have a question about The Split.  At the end of the 6th chorus, the turnaround consists of playing the root, G, five times.  I am just wonder why we alternate between three blow and two draw.  Why not just play two draw five times?

 

Thanks, Homer.

For the fun of it (and tonal change)

Texture

We play harmonica for the fun of it!  I guess it is more of a textural difference and/or effect?

Thanks, David.  You actually go into some detail in the LOA 6 video.  Makes more sense now.
