Why?

If you say you can't, you're right.

If you say you can, you're right.

It's up to you.

You probably shouldn’t be playing a harmonica if,

You probably shouldn’t be playing a harmonica if,

  1. You put all your harmonicas in the washer, followed by the dryer to clean and disinfect them.
  2. Do all your practicing in the house about 1 hour after everyone else goes to bed. 
  3. You use an amplifier while learning to bend notes.
  4. Use an air compressor to blow high compressed air through the harmonica holes to get better tone.
  5. You practice your harmonicas while you eat moon pies and drink RC.
  6. You think a Hohner Crossover is part of the politicly correctness movement.
  7. You bend the harmonica with a hammer to get bent notes.
  8. You dip your most expensive harmonica in a bucket of paint to give your music some color.
  9. You have trouble spelling the harmonica keys.
  10. You wake up everyday and dread playing the harmonica.

Perfect harp food

brshoemaker: What?? RC Cola with a Moon Pie is THE pre-practice diet. Just don't forget to brush and floss before actually putting the harp to your lips. Or in the alternativ, have your harp repair tools handy.
