.....Gee -- SO sorry, Bill -- to have begun such a "ridiculous"  thread.  
This newbie will now go sit in the corner and not dare express any  further 
opinions or ask any more questions of you.  Having been away from  playing my 
harmonica for many years and only taken it up again recently, the  sudden (to me) 
of renaming it as a "harp" came as a surprise, so I really did  want to know 
when (in my lifetime) the name had changed.  I gather  that many other really 
nice people here didn't find it all that ridiculous a  thread since they spent 
their precious time answering it from a historical as  well as anecdotal 
perspective, for which I'm extremely grateful.  If it  really was that stupid a 
question, then my humble apologies to everyone.
