The last time I had a "helpful" guitar player, he told me that I needed 
an A harp. For what key, I asked. For E, or really E minor. Sez I, no, I 
would prefer to play in 5th position. Let's see, that would be a 
<pregnant pause with no response> - that's right, a C harp I said (lying 
through my teeth because I play 2nd position for almost everything.) 
And, I continued, this tune really would be better with a hollow-body 
instead of your "strat".

Of course, it didn't matter to me, since both my A and my C are fine Joe 
Spiers custom harps, but it was fun and he left me alone after that...
