Re: What you can take on the plane

[<vince@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When flying always put your essentials in a bag (including all your harps).
They will allow you to carry them on. You may get questioned but if your
like me you will say "I can NOT go anywhere w/o my harps and a harmonica has
never hurt anyone". You don't stand a big chance in running across anyone
who don't know what a harmonica is.

PS: Just a notice, I will NOT fly! It is the biggest waist of money. It
seams the airlines have forgot who they work for! Till they figure it out, I
don't suggest flying to anyone!
