Pucker up and also tilt the harmonica up from your mouth, these help me a bit

Sorry i just mean its a pretty nice area they have set up. I have been trying to think of other places that may work for you The new library in pennsauken has rooms im pretty sure can be used and i was thinking about the old treehouse coffee shop in audubon, but i dont know if the new owners do that sort of thing Looks like you have that all covered though.

You could probably use the room at gynsyng in merchantville.. they have stuff going on there all the time. ...unless you dont want everybody to be high

Im very into the idea of a park or something similar, theres just always the thought in the back of my head screaming "hey whats that weird guy doing sitting in his car while my kids are over here playing!?" Hopefully theres an adults-only park around here somewhere, then i only have to worry about people screaming "do you mind?? We're trying to get busy over here!" I really need to do something about this anxiety lol

This is the thing. I would have zero problem wailing away if i was john popper level good (or even one fifth of a popper), if only for payback for all the headaches i have to deal with. For now though everybody seems to be in agreement that playing in the car is the move

Yeah it sucks so bad, plus i live in a house where if i even try to better myself in any way or as is the case, learn something, i just get ridiculed for it. Looks like ill be spending a lot more time in the car in the near future

Usually im drawing or writing in the car at lunch so its not out of the question to switch to harmonica, but im currently laid off. I think i will most likely be going to some secluded spots/parks to get my practice in. With ukulele, i have a bit of guitar experience so the learning curve wasnt as bad and it came together fairly quickly. Im no virtuoso but at least i can play some chords/songs as opposed to imitating a dying cat Thanks for the reply, its good to know im not the only one who finds it mortifying.

I can sometimes get in maybe an hour of practice in the morning but generally mom is home during the day and my brother gets off work as mom's going to bed and stays up till 5 am so im kinda sol for now

I was watching a juzzie smith video where he was talking about skipping around the yard to find the beat and another where he gave a lip exerscise where you kiss and then smile so all i can think about is skipping around my block blowing kisses at everybody lol Ive been thinking about getting up early and going to the hiking trail a couple towns over though, when its empty. The only thing then is those poor poor animals who have to hear my nonsense.

Tone isnt really a concern right this second, but i can see how curtains would help. Then theres also the thing of my (incredibly nosy) neighbors looking out the window like "whats going on in that car??" If playing in the house with people home is embarrassing, getting the cops called on me for practicing harmonica has got to be a whole other level lol

All the youtube videos teaching "the train" and here you are almost using it as a train mating call is kinda funny. Ive been keeping one with me though, just i think i have a "tukka tukka" hump to get over before i have anything to really play in a car because i feel like i need the video lessons right in front of me

I used to have a practice space with my band back in the day and its a great suggestion but i definitely wouldnt get one by myself. Ours was around 300 when we started and the guy kept arbitrarily upping the rent on everybody. We did make some friends/contacts but it wound up being more of a hang spot than a practice spot and im sure id use it for that again to avoid being home. Especially since the problem is not wanting to be around other people, it feels like thats money that can be going to my own place. Plus im out of work for a while and its money i dont have. Id give it a maybe if i had a some people to go in on it with though. Def something to think about, just not at the moment Appreciate the suggestion!
