Man, I love this instrument, this harmonica of mine. I think it is quite possibly the greatest instrument ever created, in the history of the world, end of discussion, period. Yeah, I mean it's got that vagueness about it. It's like three steps above the kazoo, but one under the guitar. Say you're at a concert and you're singing and stuff, but then you're like, I forgot the words to this song. You can't just stop and try to think of the words to the song, the fans won't like that too much. So what do you do? You pick up the harmonica and start blowing and drawing like a mad man. Yeah, and you really don't have to worry about knowing how to play it either. If you have a general knowledge, you are as good as gold. You just have to worry about playing coherent sounds. If things sound decent, then no one is any the wiser. Just blow in and out. After all, that's all Bob Dylan did. And it's small. You just drop into your pocket and go where you feel. On a train, whip out the harp. In between two southern people, who collectively have 13 teeth, in line at McDonald's, whip out the harp. I think the word here is versatile. Yeah, you can't do that with a guitar. What do you do, whip your guitar out of your pants? No way. Yep, but there is one set back. Say you're on the street. You got your place picked out and you're ready to start wailing. So you set up your case, so you can get tips. Well, you get to playing and then your case is full after, like .32 cents. And then you stop to dump the change in your pocket and by that time, you've lost the groove. But that's the only set back. I think the good outweighs the bad, like three to one. |
