Hi Elizabeth,

I don't mind the harp syncing at least people can see it's a Harmonica,-)

However, I never could figure out how lame some producers could be...here is 
the Paul Young Cover with melodica, which lacks the sustain, breath and 
beautiful vibrato of a real harmonica!

They spend all that money on Strings and Background, sort of rip off the 
original arrangement and then use a melodica! If this was done in England, 
there were plenty of good session players around in cliding Larry 
Adler.....go figure! If I were an 80's producer, I'd have chose the DX-7 
Keyboard Harmonica Patch on this ala Tina Turner's (What's Love got to do w/ 
it") but NOT a Melodica,-)
