Subject: [Harp-L] Harmonica on "Moon  River" 


Someone  said Louis Armstrong played the  harmonica part on "Moon River" 
from the film  soundtrack of  "Breakfast at Tiffany's"... But I thought it 
was 
Blackie  Schetner,  or possibly Tommy Morgan?
Of  course Louis Armstrong was a wonderful  musician and (mostly) played 
jazz cornet  and trumpet plus of course  a singer. I didn't know if he was 
also 
a  chromatic  harmonicist?
