[Harp-L] harmonicas and underprivileged kids



   Nice to see a guy using harmonicas to work with underprivileged kids.  As
we've seen, the inexpensiveness of our instrument can be both a blessing and
a curse.  In this case, it allows someone access to people who probably
wouldn't be able to afford any other kind of instrument.  Kids that don't
have video games, cable TV, and a slew of other stuff competing for their
time.
   The first clip takes place in Cuba, a country where the harmonica
has almost been extinct for many years:

   The second clip is from Argentina, same harmonica teacher:

   Happy holidays to all my fellow reed players!
