Re: [Harp-L] Four New Harmonicas for Indian Music

["David Priestley ( for harp-L)" <dmharpman@xxxxxxxxx>]

 I really think you are onto something most interesting with this.
I gave up on trying to join in with Ravi Shankar on the music he'd show 
me as a kid as my harps just didn't fit, though I could feel/see how it 
should go. Mum was  a big one for throwing mixed arts evenings, in the 
music bits I was mostly a page turner. - David
