I've come to the realization that I become allergic to my own wooden 
harps after a while, no matter how hard I try to keep them clean. 

BTW has anyone else noticed the righteous overblows that Alan Wilson does 
on the demo version of Canned Heat's "On the Road Again" recently 
released on the 2-CD retrospective "Uncanned! The Best of Canned Heat?
Alan does a short overblow on the single version released in January of 
1968. Does this make him the first Top 40 overblow artist?
