Not exactly, but I saw a TV program some years ago where these spacemen
came down in a little town and some cat named Somerset Frisbee was walking
home from the general store when he was abducted.
He made his escape by blowing some dis-chords on his harmonica which hurt
the spacemens brains.
The leader of the spacemen said "No, don't follow him, he has some sort
of instrument that gives out a death sound". Don't know how true the story
was?
