Bob: What is your source of information that Abraham Lincoln played "Blue Tail Fly/Jim Crack Corn" on the harmonica? According to Hohner Harmonicas, they began selling harmonicas in the USA in around 1860. (There is a story that Lincoln told, about how he had a harmonica in his pocket at the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates, though this is historically unlikely.) |
