I am a huge fan of music. All genres. I truly respect musicians whether they are skilled or not. Music can be about creating something that is your own or playing another person's composition. I appreciate all instruments...except one. The harmonica. Every time I hear someone playing that vial instrument I cringe. The sound it makes is worse than nails on a chalkboard to me. And chances are when you hear someone playing one they think they are cool for doing so. They are probably very animated and engrossed in what they are doing. Do them a favor and ignore them. If they talk to you about their music tell them that it is not a real instrument. The harmonica was created to be played and listened to by the same person. A cowboy around a fire maybe. It was not meant to be shared with others and for good reason. It sounds horrible.
Until tomorrow,
Dave
