US President Dwight D. Eisenhower died on this day in 1969.  Eisenhower
played the harmonica when he wasn't busy winning World War Two or fighting
the Cold War.  I knew there was a reason that I liked Ike.

Blues guitar and harmonica player Joe Willie Wilkins died on this day in
1979.  Wilkins had worked with Sonny Boy Williamson II, Robert Jr. Lockwood,
B.B. King and a host of others.
