[Harp-L] Re: Steinbeck quote

[Steve Baker <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Madcat for drawing attention to this beautiful quote. It's  
probably the most poignant and authentically descriptive mention of  
the harmonica in American literature. Steinbeck was friends with  
Woody Guthrie and no doubt picked up more than a few ideas from him,  
not just about music. If you haven't already read The Grapes of Wrath  
you've missed something, it's brilliantly written and deeply moving  
(even for expatriate Brits ;-)
