I tell you more - if i cannot talk freely here, moderator may as well shut me down, i don't care then at all. I'll just read the digest, what's the difference? Your "PC" attitude is the reason why there are same 15 people out of 1000+ members that inundate harpl with redundant posts on bending hole #2 or similar. The rest just does not want to bother responding to people like you.  Further, I think pampered touchy-feely, "$300.00" a harp  spoiled brat softies that cannot handle any real, let  alone critical discussion have no business discussing the "future of BLUES harp" - you know nothing about blues to begin with, there are countless thousands of real players that will run circles around you, while playing the $1 Johnson harp, made in China, thank God that "LAND" is there, surely supplying the untold "less fortunate" masses...

The real issue with your continuing on the thread of 'Asia' being 
a 'land' is that you seem to not comprehend that Asia is a vast 
Continent including (but not limited to) Japan, China, both Koreas, Thailand, 
Cambodia, India, etc. etc. 
 
 
You are tarring every single person living in those MANY 
different Countries with the same 'rip-off of the West's ideas' brush which 
tends to get under the skin a bit of those here who DO know their 
history (and Geography) just a wee bit better. 
 
 
If you're talking about Japanese products, say so. If you're actually 
talking about Chinese products, then say that. 
 
 
And just as a point of information ...I don't believe anyone on this list 
ever thought for a milli-second that you were actually THE MiCk 
Jagger. This is one emotionally stable unspoiled adult who found that 
particular disclosure especially humorous.<G>

Rick, you got a point there, and I realize the friendly and humorous 
sentiment behind your comment, but seriously - I am talking about an issue that 
is beyond dispute - currently Asia is the land of origin of most knock-off, 
patent rights-disregarded products. Sometimes it is so discouraging to have a 
conversation here, because any time one makes a statement, it has to be backed 
up by countless disclaimers, assurances of no ill intent, patting on the back 
and expressions of undying love, respect and admiration - it's like dealing with 
emotionally unstable spoiled kids. I am so more used to dealing with adults that 
can handle a real conversation.
P.S. I love Asia, Asians, half-Asians, Honda, 
Sony, Suzuki (imagine that), and all of you - beginners and pros 
alike.
Mike.


"Isn't there an argument for the harmonica being an 
Asian invention? The
Khen, and the Sheng etc. etc. were around before it and 
used the free reed.
Just another example of the west stealing from the east 
without paying
their dues. hahaha!"
