Steve Jobs preferred Special 20 over Marine Bands?

Has anyone noticed on the inside cover of their Walter Isaacson's biography, "Steve Jobs"? The picture shows Steve Jobs, balancing on the back legs of his office chair, hands clasped behind his head, and gazing at a photo of his wife and son. Look to the right edge of his desk and you will find a jumbled pile of harmonicas. Three Special 20 for certain, one Marine Band and one mystery box.

Check it out ;o)

Steve Jobs, Corian combs ...

Hi Patricia
I'm pleased you find our lessons beneficial! David's philosophy has always been to provide his students with more content than they would have expected.

Due to my "day job" schedule, I had to retire my HARPSMITH Harmonica business (for the moment). The comb material you are referring to is CORIAN (a Dupont product), available from:

> Randy Sandoval of Genesis Harmonica | http://www.genesisharmonicas.net
> Hetrik Harmonica | http://www.harpcase.com

Your Harpsmith
