Re: [Harp-L] Foot operated octave-tuned reed bass

["Mike and Beverly Rogers" <mbrogers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

About ten years ago, I heard a busker on the river Walk, in Jacksonville, 
Fl.  He played guitar, harp in a rack and had a box mounted on the back of 
his bicycle.  It had foot pedals that he use to play bass.  Quite a one-man 
band...and mobile.
