HARMONICA

What a humble musical instrument…

A tuba, a violin, a clarinet, a piano

with all those keys - black and white -

could cause pause and panic and

an “Uh oh!” - but not a harmonica.

In fact, no one would picture 
harmonica players on stage, screen,

church or symphony orchestra.

A harmonica - a child finding one in

a grandfather’s box in a garage - and

not knowing what it is, picks it up -

studies it - blows into it the wrong

side - then the right side - and out

comes sudden sound. A star is born.

Another hears the sounds and wants one.

Two moms hearing the argument

laugh and the other mom goes inside

and comes out with a harmonica from

her way back when great grandfather

and the next day two kids are making

music. Then a third - then a fourth - 
then lessons and then Carnegie Hall -

well many, many years later.

What a wonderful musical instrument ….
