I think you meant to say, "If you want to bring out the dogs, play a solo
using these top 4 blow notes exclusively."

Seriously, though, audiences do love them, in part because they cut right
through the same way they love hearing those high string bends in a guitar
solo. Also note that they lose that effect when overused, and then are
just plain annoying. But there's no more sure fire way for me to set the
cats scurrying out of the house than to blow a few high bends on a C harp
through the Champ when no one else is home...
