I have never met anybody who doesn't know Toots Thielemans, and he is a jazz
harmonica player.

Everybody I have ever told I play harmonica and am trying to learn jazz has
always come up with the same question "Like Toots?".

It then takes me a while to explain that I play diatonic, but I can assure
you where I am from everybody knows at least one jazz harmonica player.

Most people are not aware of the fact that Stevie Wonder plays the
harmonica, they think he sings.
