Hi Winslow, just finished watching your interview with Dave Barrett and found it very fascinating since I too

am a both sides tongue blocker.  I can do that octave thing you were talking about where you bend the 2 hole draw down a whole step (bending with left side) and at same time bleed in (from right side of mouth) the 5 hole draw to produce an octave.  I call it the 2 draw whole step bend octave.  I've been looking for someone else who does it and there you are.  Cool!  Would love to talk harmonica with you sometime.  I just moved to Bay Area about a month ago.

Sincerely,

Dave Prez

Hi, Dave.

Thanks. Here's a little jam thing from last year's Harmonica Collective where I used that split 2/5 bend:

Lately I've been working out with the Lucky 13, bending equal amounts on both sides. You can hear me doing a lttile of it here:
