Re: [Harp-L] Travelling with instruments

[pdxharpdog@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I carry 6 harps in a leather holster belt pretty much wherever I go and whenever I gig - for sure it sits next to me on the passenger seat of the car. ItÂdefinitely looks like an ammo cartridge belt. I sometimes worry that if I happened to beÂdriving a bit out of control - (not from playing while driving mind you) and was stopped by the police, I might get tasered after the officer caught a quick glimpse of the belt on the passenger seat. 



Of course that worry is outweighed by the fact that one night after a gig aÂpretty young woman came up to me and pointed her finger to my belt and said in a sexy, sultry voice "I like a man who wears his tools around his waist"Â Of course I happened to beÂtalking to my wife at the time.....

RE: Âhave been told that harps look like bullet cartridges ... 

I am an attorney and go through TSA style screening just about every time I 
enter a federal or many state facilities any more including courthouses. ÂA 
diatonic harmonica looks a lot like the clip for a small caliber handgun on 
a scanner. Â
