Ok. So I'm down at the senior center this morning having coffee with a few old musicians and I mention I'm taking up the harmonica since arthritis won't let me pick my guitar, mandolin or banjo, to which Billy Bob replies, hell, you couldn't:t pick them before. So, then Charlie pipes up and says, "are you planning on blowing into a mic? Maybe, I answered. Oh hell, he chuckles. Guess the rest of us might as well unplug. You can't hear a damn thing over a damn harp! So, does a harmonica player get in trouble with the guitar players or vocalists?:

...Music is most definitely a conversation. Sometimes a whisper is much more effective than a shout. Politesse is a much better tool than powerdriving. Terrific observation! “The harmonica is the mother of the band.” ~ Otis Spann "This quote has long been misinterpreted. It didn’t mean that the harmonica should be the main solo instrument, regardless of the musical setting. What it meant was that, because of its uniquely expressive qualities - its humanity and emotional depth - the harmonica was the heartbeat of the band, the well from which a band's soul could be drawn and grow." ~ Tom Ellis
