I purposefully TRIPLED the figures to see if everyone was paying  
attention. 12,000 sessions would be 32.8767 YEARS at one per DAY. OR,  
49.3 PLUS years at one every DAY & a HALF. Hah, that's a laugh. I  
believe it was little Jimmy Dickens who was the first to break the  
'300 shows a year' barrier.  Nope, I believe that the 'Theys that  
say' are wrong. I think we would be hard to pressed to find 12,ooo  
harmonica sessions PERIOD.  It isn't unusual for a fan to over  
emphasize their hero's accomplishments in an attempt to add to their  
esteem. I don't think it's necessary in this case. Charlie is a bad  
hombre.
BTW, did you see the 222 years?  (giggle). btw(2) My college training  
is automated business systems & accounting. (chortle).
