Love the harp player's belt with the different keyed harps in it.

You got better eyes than I. I didn't even see a harp player let alone a belt. You sure we are looking at the same vid?

When I say 'harp' I mean Harmonica.

Edit: The harp player is Lee Oskar - a founding member of WAR.

Oh I get it now. The mouth harp. I haven't heard it called that in decades. Yep, he had several others ready to go. Looks like he has 5 total but maybe 6. Not sure about the far one on his left side.

Well, I have been playing the 'mouth organ' as it was called when I was a teenager, for years on and off, and have called it a 'harp' for the best of 30 years. I wasn't sure if it is still called that, but on looking online, apparently it is.

My American Ex gave me a gold Hohner - 100th anniversary of the company or something like that. I gave it to a mate when I moved here, and he never plays it, but won't give it back. Such is life.

I have a Suzuki Folk Master C that I ordered from Japan - it's a great sounding harp. After a few snorts of bourbon, I'll rip out a tune of sorts occasionally.

I can play most (edit: a lot) of this song by Chain - a great Aussie Blues band:

I have always thought of this song when the conversation turns to harmonicas.

Yes! Love it.

...and just a little trivia about Chain - the song was released in the US as 'Snatch it back and hold it' to sanitize the song for the puritanical audience of the day - it's really called "Grab a snatch (pussy) and hold it."

I have always thought of this song when the conversation turns to harmonicas.

...and then the harp on this one - have always been a ST fan:

This is Famous and one of my Fav's.

Well it was good until he opened his mouth.
