Re: Grapefruit Juice Can

[John Frazer <jfrazer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In San Francisco circa 1974 I bought a harmonica mic thingie that looked 
like a steely dan with wings. The harmonica slid into it and there was a 
small dynamic element at one end with a volume control. Never seen one 
since. I used it with a Pignose amp while playing for tips and lost it as 
well as my 8 pocket harmonica belt to a couple of muggers outside of 
Winterland. Ah youth! Where hast thou gone??

God, family, music, fishing, work.	 Can blue men play the whites?
