Re: [Harp-L] Upside Down Harmonica playing (was Grandpa Elliot)

[icemanle@xxxxxxx]

 There are fun tricks to play on musician friends - especially when you've done the full time music gigs and are on the road.

One was to take the harmonica player's harmonicas (when he wasn't looking) and switch a cover plate or two on him - either changing the key or switching upper/lower plates, and then waiting until the gig that night to watch the fun......of course, this is the beer/peanut circuit and not important concerts.

I heard some harp players put the numbers on the bottom (the cool  way) to 
be different.
My teacher told me that one time.
