Subject: Bending for the Newbie

Hi all!

I'm new to Harp-L and I've only been playing the harmonica for 2 or 3 weeks.
I have a question for all of the seasoned players out there:

I'm not quite sure if I'm bending correctly or not. Sometimes it sounds as
though I am, but sometimes it doesn't. I was hoping you all could help me.
I am sure there is something that stands out in your mind when you bend a
note. Something basic about how you draw or place your tongue or something.
What is that? The descriptions I have read about how to bend are pretty
confusing. If you could tell me a specific thing you do when you are
bending, I would be much obliged.

Thanks a ton,

Jon
