These kids are remarkable! I've seen adult groups that couldn't hold a candle to them.

Here is a clip of what is arguably the finest youth harmonica group ever,
"The Harpsmiths."  They ranged from 9-12 years old.  Tommy Stryker Jr. on
lead, Jason "Bo" Smith on  Melodica, Vern "Binky" Smith on Bass and Al
"Bonky" Smith. Affectionately often introduced as "Tommy, Bonky, Binky, Bo
and they really know how to put on a show."  This group astounded the 'Cats
and Johnny Puleo.  The Smith boys are the sons of famous chord player Al
Smith.  They stopped playing in their teen years.   Sadly, Tommy passed on
