Wow! Thanks for the welcome, gents & ladies. I was taught to play the harmonica by a genial Irishman named Henry, who could pick up any instrument & play it. For myself, I wanted to learn the harp so as not to be tempted to sing, being the only one who flunked miss Chases's music sclass in school for 12 straight years. One tone stone, the singing cowboy, that's me. I sing anyway, but not in public. I'll try to check this board out now & again, but I'm on a couple of gunsmith boards too, and can't spend all day on the tube, much as I enjoy it. Thanks again, folks! Mert
