Thank you Chris. That technique is not at all limited to squabbles. It's 
commonly used between phrases in all kinds of soloing. It's more obvious 
here because of the bigger difference in registration, and the subtlety of 
the performance. I call it "huffing," but I don't know what others call it, 
and my term certainly could be misconstrued, isn't that right kids? I have 
seen it called "popping," too.
