.....Dave, I'm not sure you ever saw my mention of Keith Dunn's  new entry 
into the International Songwriting Contest, "Deja Vu All Over  Again".  It most 
definitely fits your category. It's a catchy,  humorously controversial song 
(on which he  sings and plays  harp) and can still be voted on once each day up 
until midnight through  February 28, 2006.
 
 Keith's one of us...so it'd be terrific to have a harmonica player,  
singer/songwriter win this competition, wouldn't it?  What a great way  to bring 
"Blues harp to the masses".  Here's the link again.  The  songs are listed 
alphabetically...just scroll down to the D's:
