Subject: Cajun-sounds by tongue blocking

don't get excited by a far away german who tells something about Cajun and Cydeco
but i found out Cajun sounds can be copied by an C-diatonic harp with tongue blocking.
it works because it sounds like the hand harmonica (accordian sound) which is almost used
in Cajun/Cydeco. i think there is no bending at all , only technique of tongue blocking
produces the sound which is blues scale of G if you don't use it ...

... but you need lot air

well, actually Cajun/Cydeco becomes more and more popular here in Germany ...
lot's of CD's in stores you see .

... and it's funny to change techniques in blues with tongue blocking and lipping.
