FOUND THIS AMONG MY MANY STUFF RE-HARMONICA..


A HARMONICA IS EASY TO CARRY.
TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR HIP POCKET,
KNOCK IT AGAINST YOUR PALM TO SHAKE OUT THE DIRT AND POCKET FUZZ AND BITS OF 
TOBACCO.. NOW IT'S READY. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING WITH A HARMONICA'
THIN REEDY SINGLE TONE, OR CHORDS, OR MELODY WITH RHYTHM CHORDS. YOU CAN MOLD 
THE MUSIC WITH CURVED HANDS, MAKING IT WAIL AND CRY LIKE BAGPIPES, MAKING IT 
FULL AND ROUND LIKE AN ORGAN, MAKING IT AS SHARP AND BITTER AS THE REED PIPES 
OF THE HILLS.. AND YOU PLAY AND PUT IT BACK INTO YOUR POCKET. IT'S ALWAYS WITH 
YOU...
