GREAT POINT

Johnny T,
please check your sense of humor receptors-
Smokey Joe is a comedian/harper.

As for this thread; it should probably end...(there will probably be an 
official halt to it soon)
but, please can we all (silently) agree that the playing of a copyrighted 
tune on an instrument demo'd in a store should in no way constitute payment 
to anyone?

harp content:
harmonicas can't be demo'd in a store, many harmonica players don't know any 
copyrighted melodies. I am going to try to learn a few that I can play with 
the bellows tester in the store though!
