Re: [Harp-L] This ever happen to travelling harp players?

["Rob Paparozzi" <Chromboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Harp Players may get hassled alot at Aiport Security but at least we can 
take our instruments ON the plane with us without TONS of hassles about 
placing it in the overhead etc!

I have traveled Hundreds of Thousands of Miles the past 12 years on the road 
and I've seen this kind of stuff too often.

I've found that Musicians and mostly Guitarist & Horn Players are treated 
with very LOW regard with respect to travelling players and their Gear. Some 
airlines GET IT and other just DON'T....


UNITED AIRLINES doesn't get it and O'HARE in Chicago in general employs help 
with MAJOR attitudes!...check this out and if your a Harmonica Player that 
tours with a guitar player, you may wanna pass this video on to them....
I feel their pain! Shame on United and I'm glad this Video is UP! and I 
totally agree with this guy.
