[Harp-L] TOYS [was] Mr. Heresy rags on "music" and blues

["Eric Neumann" <eneumann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe I'd better peel off the "Toys" sticker I put on my harp case
then...

I've always thought the debate about harmonicas being toys or not, is
strictly a subject that never goes outside of the harmonica player's
community. Nobody I know, save the Jaw Harp, or Kazoo lists ever feel
the need to talk about this. I imagine the penny whistle players feel
the same too.

My "Toys" sticker on my harp case is justifiably an inside joke.

But some of you all just gotta relax and remember the ten-hole diatonic
is a (uh oh!) less-than-twenty-dollar toy!
