Re: [Harp-L] Harmonica case theft deterent

[billhines4@xxxxxxxxxxx]

John Popper and some others have worn these (both belt and 'bandolier' style), and you can buy them from various places. Not a bad idea for keeping all the harps "on your person". Not sure I'd wear one into the john though, I'd ending up with harps sitting on urinal cakes or in the drink ;^)   plus i'm too neurotic/germ-phobic/squeamish to put them into my mouth after they've been in that "environment"...
