Here is a passage from the book THE GRAPES OF WRATH by John Steinbeck

"A harmonica is easy to carry.  Take it out of your hip pocket, knock
it against your palm to shake out the dirt and pocket fuzz and bits of
tobacco.  Now it's ready.  You can do anything with a harmonica: thin
reedy single tone, or chords, or melody with rhythm chords.  You can
mold the music with curved hands, making it wail and cry like
bagpipes, making it full and round like an organ, making it as sharp
and bitter as the reed pipes of the hills.  And you can play and put
it back in your pocket.  It's always with you, always in your pocket.
