I have played in a batch of "Texas" bands and find anything from the Texas Tornado's works well with harp and accordian(Guacamole/Hey baby Que Paso etc) Flaco Jimenez Jr. shaved his reeds to customize them to produce bends that work almost like that of a diatonic harp.(historical side note) in the mid 1800's thousands of Germans, Lithuanians and "Bohemians" emigrated to Texas and the locals of Mexican decent went nuts over the accordian thence the oompha influence in the music today. Ambrose Beirce in "The Devils Dictionary" 1904 defines the accordian as "An instrument in harmony with the sentiments of an assassin". Sometime I feel the harmonica falls under that general umbrella. Just my dos y media centavos worth!
