=============================

Jerry's post today - "Civil War era harp question" - reminded me of a 
question I'd had about Glenn's Gangs of New York question but couldn't post 
to the list for technical reasons. At any rate, I'm just wondering how 
historically accurate it is to feature second-position harmonica in a film 
about the 1860s. I thought cross-harp playing only came about after the turn 
of the century. Mouth harp historians?
