I don't know about the rest of you but being a harmonica player is a lifestyle for me. I keep harmonicas in the car for traffic jams and when a good tune comes on the radio. I don't feel right if I go to bed without playing some harp. And sometimes when I have some thinking to do I just hold a harp and turn it over and over in my hand while I work out an issue in my mind. I just love it! Does it bother any of you when you hear a guy playing harmonica in a band and he is just clueless about what to do? I does me. Hurts my ears to hear that noise! Let me know what y'all think.

Harper n2whd,

In a word...YES!

I hear options for harp licks in tunes and can't wait to "get" the notes played exactly like they SHOULD be played - to be understood. I want everybody to play harp. Whether it's for the sake of playing, health purposes, jamming for or with somebody else, playing off a guitarist, putting a smile on someone's face or soothing my heart's need for a "place".
Once upon a time I was told that I'm NOT a harp player...Gave me incentive to wail the Blues and become a Blues Man. Not for spite, instead to have a feel. You know. That hole in your soul that can only hold the echoes of what it is, could be or should be. I still can't hardly hold a candle to a beginner, but I can give what I can and hope to get a nod every once in a while.
Blow Blues...Blow true.

Be Blues...And Jazz,

Suave Blues Man

You got it! Trying to fill that empty place in your soul with music. Everywhere and anywhere that music is harp can fit.

Dont go anywhere with out one of m harps. I fell naked if I havent got one with me.
THe guys at work like it. Every now and then I will bust out a couple of riff unexpectedly.

Always one(or more) in the car and caravan.

Cheers, Adam

and let's not forget they are as good as a roll of dimes in a fight!
