Subject: And there was much rejoycing...what now? (Overblowing)

yeh, it's me again

Following you guys' advice, I've got what I'm pretty sure is an overblow
on holes 4, 5, and 6. Only problem is, I can't get the normal blow note
to go away - it and the overblow sound together. So, first off, any
advice on getting _just_ the OB, without the regular blow note? And
second, since I do kind of like the sound of both together, is there
anything wrong with playing that way? - it sounds kind of gritty, and I'm
wondering if it's good for the reeds or what.

On an irrelevant note - when I blow really, really hard on a high hole,
one or two of the lowest reeds sound too. Is there anything I can do to
stop this, or should I just not blow so damn hard?
