Top Ten Harp List

[skt2@xxxxxxx (Rod Thomas/Sandra Teare)]

...and now ladies and gentlemen, in the style of David Letterman's fabled
Top Ten List...The Top Ten Features Unique To the Harmonica...

#10.  the only wind instrument sounded by exhaling and inhaling.

#9.    the only wind instrument capable of playing octaves.

#8.    the only wind instrument capable of playing cords.

#7     the only wind instrument one could conceivably play through the
nose.  (don't try this at home.)

#6.    the only musical instrument that fits in your pocket, (possibly
confusing your sweetheart.)

#5.    the only musical instrument to travel in space.  (Wally Schirra's
Lil' Lady on Gemini VI.)

#4.   the only real musical instrument still available for under $10.
(American Ace, Hot Metal, and Great Little
         Harp, all under $5.50 from Kevin's)

#3.   the only musical instrument that will sound a perfect cord if you
hold it out the window of a moving vehicle.

#2.   the only musical instrument that may actually sound pretty cool if
you have "the Shakes".

and finally, the #1 Feature Unique to the Harmonica.....

#1.  It's the all time best musical instrument for imitating trains!

Keep on Harpin'
