Re: [Harp-L] Re: Stolen Brendan Power D/G Chromatic

I was reading this biography of Led Zeppelin last night and came to this part where... the book says long about 1965, Robert Plant was a teenager, Sonny Boy Williamson was in town and Plant snuck backstage and stole one of Sonny's harps.

I didn't know that if i were just to steal one that I could SUDDENLY become a harp player.  It must be because if you steal a harmonica that you are selling your soul to the devil.

One day I got in the Jeep and noticed that my huge sunglasses were missing. They are the kind that they give you at the eye store when you get Lasik. (The wife had Lasik). Also missing was an autographed Charley McCoy CD, and a little flashlight with red warning blinker feature. Because the CD was Charley McCoy, I assumed that the interloper was of white persuasion.

So a week later I'm sitting at my desk (in the garage) and a kid goes by on a go kart. It looked like he was wearing my glasses. I stopped him and sure enough they were my glasses. I told him to bring back my CD and little flash light, stick them in my mail box, and he could keep the glasses. Otherwise I would break his knees. He went for the deal.....Aaaaargh, kids these days.

That's why I say keep an ear out, it was probably kids looking for something neat.
