Hi Brendan,

Hey dude it's my Great Great Grandfather that wrote those words so please watch what you say!!!!!!!!!  No offence taken really!  I must say I find it a challenge to play it on the diatonic harmonica.

Subject: [Harp-L] Which National Anthem?

Various people on the list discussing playing "The National Anthem" on
harmonica. To which national anthem are you referring?  After all, there
are hundreds (one for each country, in fact).

Some are more harp-friendly than others. My particular one (the New
Zealand national anthem) has naff words but quite a nice melody - though
with some challenging jumps that are hard to get smooth.

The words and a cheesy MIDI version of the melody are here for anyone
curious:
