Damn, I wish I read this before I was so stupid as to go out and learn  
harmony, and reading, orchestration and writing charts, etc. and then  
scales and articulation and tone.  Boy was I dumb.  And I just don't  
have any fun playing the harmonica because I learned all that stupid  
stuff.  And all those other musicians that play sax, guitar, piano,  
etc.,  boy they are also really dumb for learning all that music stuff  
and with teachers and lessons and music school, wow what a waste of  
time.

My suggestion is just to pick up a violin and just learn all the  
fiddle licks you can.  That makes a great fiddle player for me.  Just  
have fun with it and above stay as ignorant as you possible can of  
anything that smacks of learning about music.

Harmonically yours,

Robert
