Re: [Harp-L] Re: Harp-L Digest, Vol 69, Issue 55



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).

I would dispute that. I'm not trying to be a wise guy here and I love Charlie to pieces BUT, if you extrapolate the numbers, IF you were to * A V E R A G E * a session PER day, you can do 1,095 per year

A session per day would be 365 per year?


NO time off, It would take nearly 11 years. Every other day and it would be almost 222 years. Every 3 days and it's almost 33. Every 4 days..almost 44. Now he HAS been around that long, but still..every 4 days? Pretty hard to manage. For that many years, any-HO.

Now there is some odd math in there ;-0


Ergo: The famous 'They that say' have struck again.
