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

If you want some excitement in your life, do the following when you travel with your harmonicas.  First make sure that they are sitting up right, so that the xray operation sees them from the end view.  They look much more dangerous that way.  Also, for good measure,  pack your bullet mic right next to the harps, preferably touching them.  Then bring a few magazines, and put the end of the mic cord between the magazines.  If you have elctronics, such as a Lone Wolf Pedal (Sorry Randy) or similar make sure there is a battery in it, and make sure there is a wire laying on top of it. 

Now, when they pull your bag for inspection, make sure you cop an attitude, sweat profusely, and call the xray operator an idiot, as well as the bag checker.  Make sure that they know that you are important, and that they are beneath you.  Threaten them with a lawsuit for taking away your civil liberties, and accuse them of descrimination against people of your particular type, reagardless of what type you are.

Now, here is the harp related part.  Your harp playing should improve in the upcoming month, because of all the practice you will have time to dp in jail.

None of this is serious, by the way , but it is a topic I know a little bit about.  Well, maybe a lot.
