Fwd: [Harp-L] Harp sharing

["Tim Moyer" <wmharps@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At least you can get the Gordon repaired, and it'll be worth the time
and money.  A blown out 1923 is a reed donor, and a blown Delta Frost
-- with spot welded reeds -- is a paperweight.

Hi everyone,
  I invited a friend to a jam about 6 weeks ago.He showed up with 2 or 
so harps.I know he doesn't have much money as he has had some tough 
times.So feeling for him and wanting to see him have a good time, I let 
him use a few harps.As the band called out the tunes I gave him the 
correct harps.Well no good  deed goes unpunished as the saying goes.He 
blew out everyone he played.3 to be exact.The 10 hole blow on a fresh 
Jimmy Gordon G.(that was just plain stupidity),a 1 hole draw on my A 
Bushman Delta Frost, and  my 4 draw on my D Delta Frost.Tell me he 
wasn't excited.I cringed after I gave him the JG G. I said to play it 
lightly.He had now clue It was a customized harp.The worst part of it 
all is I had a Herring 123 G in the kit,not realizing it soon enough.It 
all happened rather quickly just having fun.We all had fun but I paid 
the price.I let him know about it but we just let it go at that.He is a 
good friend and if the situation was reversed he would have done the 
same. Kevin Keith
