Why is there such a sensitivity amongst some in our harmonica world about
the respect level of the instrument? What exactly will this "respect"
change? Many people dig the harp and what it sounds like. That's why so many
play and listen to many different styles of music on the harmonica. How much
respect did disco get in the day? Not sure the Bee Gees and the rest of 'em
really cared as they walked into the bank with the big checks to cash. Peg O
My Heart was a big hit, did respect matter? The Adlers, Stan Harper, Tommy
Morgans and the like command respect with every note they play. Do the
Hammer Dulcimer people bitch all the time that their instrument gets no
respect? I respect people, not inanimate objects. Just my humble opinion of
course :-).
