Harmonica etc

Some of the older folk players were pretty good on multiple instruments the harmonica being one. I got to play a little in the picking an grinnin areas down in the Arkansas Ozarks about 15 yrs or so ago. Bunch of people just get together in the parks in town and just play music. Lot of blue grass and old hillbilly songs but some of what I grew up with. People(tourists) come walkin along listenin to the music being played and somebody might even have a hat layin on the ground. Proceeds almost always go to some worthy local cause..like some kid that is sick or a family that lost the breadwinner. Kinda neat. Some of those ol mountain williams can really play. Love to hear 'em playing the fiddle though. They really know how to put heart into music.Ya know ol Bobby Dylan could play quite a few instruments and really wrote some great songs. Don't know how he did it when he was sooo spaced but he did. Even the musicians that weren't really politically correct wrote music that in some ways touched peoples souls or heart in some ways.
Have fun with the mouth organ man. The darn thing just didn't like me much I guess
