Comedian and harmonica player Herb Shriner died on this day in 1970.
Shriner's career began in the 1930's as a harmonica player, adding the
comedy bits as time progressed.  A world-class harmonica player, he also
helped the careers of other harmonica players on his radio and TV shows.

That's all I have for today.  Have fun and practice.
