good one, you guys come up with great lines and all I have is " good one"
so,, knowing when not to post or replay when you have nothing to say is as good as a screen door on a submarine.

  As has been said several times before on this list, knowing when not to play is often as important as knowing what to play.

      Okay...I wasn't gonna give up a trade secret, but since we're all
      friends here...

      When I'm playing at a jam session, where you have no idea what's coming
      next, I sometimes employ a technique I call the "mystery harp".

      When someone calls out a tune that is a solid no-go for harp, I cup the
      mic in standard form, but I put my lips to my thumb instead of the harp.
      I then proceed to merrily "play" fills and such - cheeks puffing in and
      out - the whole nine yards.

      When the guitarist gives me "the look", (you know the look - "You wanna
      take a solo?") I shake my head NO. After the song, I wiggle some cords,
      turn some dials and voila! Whatta ya know! It works again! I guess I'm
      going to have to replace that darn mic cable...it's been giving me this
      kind of trouble for years...
