It IS a stage harp players go through.
It was 1983. A group was playing at the 'Decade' (in Pittsburgh).  
They were called 'Savoy Brown'. The (average) harp player was very  
unfriendly, rude, snipy, when I tried to talk to him. So I Gussed  
their entire second set. The one bartender gave me a hard time, so I  
called the fire marshalls and they arrived and cited the club for  
having too many people in the place. The allowed limit was 260 and  
they had 306. I guess a few people had to leave. I felt really good  
on the drive home.
