Why bothering the hard art of bending, if you could easily get all the notes on the chromatic harmonica?

In other words: why chromaticas did not take over diatonicas?

I recently figured out that the artist performance pieces that David places at the beginning of most interviews is a great place to learn solo harmonica ideas.  I pieces that I am working on now are from the solo by Mark Hummel, as well as the full solo by Annie Raines.  Mark kept time by tapping his foot so that made it easier to figure out the note values and rhythym.  Annie's solo is very soulful, and I can't figure out timing other than to just feel the phrases.  Anyone have any ideas including what chord structure that Annie might be following in her head?  I k continue reading...

Each bar in the chart shows average number of days between consecutive levels. The chart is based on David's posts to the LOA Awords sections of this forum.

Cheers,
