Dave Ferguson? But he's not from Eastern Europe.

Cheers, Tom

Subject: [Harp-L] Harmonica in the Eurovision Song Contest


I´m back here with another question, this is a toughie. It´s saturday, after
all.
  In Europe we have an annual event called the Eurovison Song Contest. This
is a crap competition that for some nefarious reason Swedish television have
decided to blow out of all proportions, and normally the best is to remain
silent about the whole thing.
 
  However, it struck me some years ago -- I was working in the editorial
staff room of a newspaper at the time, and this was going on on a TV set in
the background (it was the finals) -- all of a sudden I heard the
distinctive sound of a diatonic harmonica, right in the middle of all those
synthezisers and whatever.
  Can anyone remember what country/what contribution this was? The harmonica
was quite well played, not Dylan style, and I think it was from an Eastern
European country, but couldn´t get around to check it, and then forgot.
  Just curious.
 
  Cheers,
  Martin
