Bird Lives
to heck with the moldy figs

Recently, while listening to an accomplished jazz chromatic player (button 
type) a friend (non-musician) asked "what is that annoying thing that he 
keeps doing?" I explained that it bending the note down and letting it tail 
off and that it was a stylistic thing that many chromatic players do, Toots 
being one of the major proponents.

So now, the living Paganinnis of both instument are flawed, let's all turn 
them in at your local police station like they do to get Saturday night 
specials off of the streets!

When harmonicas are outlawed...
