just think it doesn't belong here.

Don´t forget it was african culture, that brought the essential ingedience for what we call blues, jazz and whatever came from it. This is a harmonica mailing list, yes. So european craftsmen build an instrument to play traditional "german major" (scnr ;) ) folk music. That instrument was brought to african american slave descendants who used it in a completely different way, and this new music floated back to europe and all over the world.

Remembering this, yet another cultural ingredience will probably be
quite interesting.
