Re: [Harp-L] Worst Gus incident ever

[Tin Lizzie <TrackHarpL@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At my first Jon Gindick Harmonica Jam Camp, one of the guest coaches was Paul Herrington.

He told us that he likes to give presentations about our beloved instrument to Kindergarten classes.  As part of his “show”, he places a paper bag full of harmonicas at his feet, and throughout the entire talk the kids fidget and crane their necks with curiosity to know what’s in the bag.  At the end of the presentation, he opens up the bag, gives each kid a harmonica, thanks everyone, and leaves.

The harmonicas are in all 12 keys.
