I thought the article was interesting because the website that published it
seized on the photo of a supporter playing harp, as if that were odd.
My personal impression is that a small majority of musicians are Lefty, but
a majority of blues harp players are either apolitical or Righty. (This is
only my own thumbnail opinion.)
The Blues Harp Amps poll I conducted last summer found that the average age
of harp players who responded to the poll was 51. Older people skew to the
right. When I run the poll again next summer I may add an optional
question about political ideology. I think it is interesting.
