Re: [Harp-L] harmonica players in musicians' union

[Joe and Cass Leone <leone@xxxxxxxx>]

I don't know about now, but back in 1960 I joined in N.Y. when I  
lived on Staten Island. I think the local was 802 (maybe 814?), but  
you can ask Rob Paparozzi because he might be in that local. If he  
isn't, he might belong to local 1000 which is reserved for TOURING  
musicians and usually used by people who don't have a permanent base.

smokey joe told you
