Isn't there an anecdote about Jerry Portnoy about him being asked by a
youngster what is the secret of being a great harmonica player....

Some great father of the blues, I think it was Howlin' Wolf, once said,
and I'm paraphrasing,

"(As a musician) you should always dress respectfully, wearin' a suit.
When you're wearin' a suit, people know you as one of two things. Either
a musician, or a preacher."
