[Harp-L] New to list and harmonica in general

[Nick Jenkins <nicholas.jenkins83@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all
I'm new to the harmonica and the list. I've been silently lurking on the 
list for about a week. Just trying to get the gist of it and follow some 
of the topics.  I have to say I do enjoy it. A few things I wanted to 
post about.

Abner- Read your wifes review, I like a few others thought it was 
complete and awesome. I will be seeing Jason for the first time this 
Sept.. Tell Mrs. Blue-Eyes kudos. It was a great
review.

Nicholas- I remember being your age. Granted I'm only 26 now, but I've 
probably been through and seen more as a veteran of the Military then 
most cats my age, maybe even most older. My 2 cents, learn to take some 
constructive criticism.  Me being a new player I love how tight and 
helpful the harp community has been (a la harmonicajam forums, 
harmonicaspace). Its  a true blessing and should be treated as such. You 
have  alot of people on here who have knowledge and wisdom far beyond 
our years they are willing to share. Don't mess that up by making posts 
that stir things up. Its not worth it man.  I personally love how 
helpful everybody is and at the price of improving, I will never let my 
ego get in the way. That would just be detrimental.  This community is 
awesome and you don't see it much in other instruments.. Realize what 
you have here. Blues is a tradition, and many are willing to "pass the 
torch" to a new generation of players like us, but not if you post to 
continually rile feathers man. There is no place for that. 

All - Thank you so much for any help you've given me so far.  I'm truly 
blessed to know that there is such support and look forward to this 
journey of learning the harp, a journey that will last the rest of my life.
