Re: [Harp-L] A likely story!

[David Payne <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a children's book called "Lentil" from 1941. TLentil liked to play in 
the bathtub because it improved his tone 100 percent. There is a super rich dude 
from Lentil's town who comes back after a very long absence. They were planning 
a big party reception for the rich dude, but some antagonist character gives the 
brass band lemons to eat, lemons that were so sour, their mouths drew up and 
they couldn't play their instruments. So the super rich dude gets off the train 
and is ticked off because the brass band isn't playing, but then Lentil pulls 
out his harmonica and the super rich dude is happy. They form a parade, with 
Lentil and his harmonica at the head of it and the parade goes all through 
town.  The super rich dude had such a good time, he built a new hospital for the 
townsfolk. "So," the book says "you never know what could happen when you learn 
to play the harmonica." 

It all sounded so extremely plausible ;)
