In 1967, Bergstrom Papers released an album titled "Impressions In Color",
which featured various printing presses as rhythm backgrounds for original
orchestral compositions. http://www.bassharp.com/liner2.htm This album was
recorded at Universal Studios in Chicago (sound familiar, as in the original
recording of the Harmonicats' "Peg O' My Heart"?), and features as one of
the instrumentalists, the great Johnny Thompson on single reed bass harmonica,
as only he can play it. John also subbed on bass with the Harmonicats when
Don Les was unable to perform due to health reasons.
Give it a listen, and see what you think.

More info on Johnny and wife Pam - highly respected in the magic community,
Johnny is a mentor and tutor for most of the great young magicians of
Las Vegas, etc, and has produced magic "how-to" videos for aspiring magicians.
Some will remember Johnny & Pam - The Great Tomsoni & Company - were featured
guest artists at the 1992 SPAH Convention in Chicago, where he brought former
trio members, Bob Herndon and Al Fontana on stage to present the music they
were best known for throughout 1950's - "The Harmonica Jazz Trio".
Have fun,
Danny
