Re: [Harp-L] Re: Chromatic vs Diatonic

[David Payne <dmatthew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In a toolbox, there are screwdrivers, hammers, maybe some hole saws, some 
wrenches, a square, drill bits, etc. When I need to drill a hole in the house to 
run some antenna line in, I search the toolbox for the right drill bit. If a 
nail needs driven, I use the hammer, etc. 



In my harmonica toolbox, there are diatonics, chromatics, tremolos, various 
small chord harmonicas and a 48 chord. The age-old discussion about which is 
better, chromatics or diatonics, always struck me as an argument between 
proponents of hammers and saws, each wondering whose tool is best.

Hi Mike, I am planning to be at spah, but right now there's something wrong and 
I'm taking tests and stuff. If I'm cleared to fly, I'll be ok. Btw, I don't 
usually play at spah. Too intimidating. I mean I have, but it's rare. Maybe in 
the hallways if I'm up to it.

It is rather easy. But then, I have been at it a while :)
