just ten minutes, folks

["James Thurgood" <thurgood@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Came across this (don't ask me how) - record of the
patent for "Harmonica Bill's Ten-Minute Course in
Harmonica Playing" - taken out in 1925, renewed in
1953 (but not since - does that mean it's up for grabs?):

Philosophical question:  How different would Nasty Ned's 
life have been if only he'd taken the Ten-Minute Course?
