[Harp-L] What first attracted you to harmonica? Why did you learn to play it?

[Tin Lizzie]

The children’s book “Lentil”, by Robert McClosky.

---
Lentil is a boy who wants to make music, but only an awkward squawk comes out when he tries to sing.  He saves up his money and buys a harmonica.  He plays it every day as he walks to school and back, and he especially loves to practice in the bathtub, because he can get such an excellent tone.

Things happen (as things do, in books, children’s or otherwise), and [ spoiler alert ] Lentil saves the day from the wiles of Old Sneep.

“And so, you never know what might happen, if you learn to play the harmonica."
