More than 20 years ago, I joined "The Madison Blues Band", a "pub  band" 
that worked round and about London England, and as far as I know, it still  
does. Led by Paul Madison, British blues singer and guitarist.... 
 
The harmonica player who had worked with them before I did, was a black  
Jamaican man, called Leroy. He was an excellent harp player.
 
After I'd been working with the band for a few weeks, Leroy came to one of  
our gigs, and during a "beer break"... He came over to me, and said  
jokingly:
 
"You play that harp real well, for a WHITE BOY"..
 
I've been known as:
 
John "Whiteboy" Walden
 
ever since that evening.
