" I've always puzzled over the people wanting to identify as harp-l members  
at 
harmonica gatherings.  We don't exist so how can you belong?   fjm"
 
.....perhaps because this is the very first time I've heard this.  My  
"joining" Harp-L at the suggestion of a good friend was a momentous experience  in 
my life anyway.  Discovering other people who actually play  this instrument 
and love it as much as I do was a turning point for  me.  I feel connected - 
finally, after never having had that before.   You may not realize just how must 
this list gives its' members.  I can't  count the doors it has opened for me 
and the knowledge I've gained through the  generous, loving people who post 
here.
 
  It may be "only" a conversation -- but what a wide-ranging,  far-reaching, 
interesting, controversial at times and fascinatingly  informative 
conversation!  We're family now and you and Ben are the  parents (like it or not) <VBG>
