Subject: gifs, home pages, faqs and what next?
Like the GIFs, and although mostly a diatonic player, I like the chromatic

(sorry Chris, what else is new :( But how 'bout them vikes?:)
When's HHHB, the sequel coming out (or the movie)??? :) :)
Very dumb question: Isn't most music basically memorized and the printed
situation where you play from sheet music cold, but 'the recital' where
including situations where improvisation is expected).

Jennings (hi Steve, you old lurker you) may give y'all a clue as to what
part of LO's response that burns me up:
"The presence of Lee Oskar Harmonicas in the U.S. preempts the need for
basically the same needs already served by major diatonics produced by Lee

Wilson and his position as both HARP-L'er and LO honcho. I've made my

Just my 2 cents worth:
I first learned of Tombo harmonicas in 1976 when I met Richard Smith. He
were extremely hard to get - as far as we knew no one was importing them.
who had one for sale (someone who picked them up in their travels, etc.)
purchase these harmonicas - to no avail. There were no U.S.A. distributers
business or become a distributor - most manufacturers don't even want to
longer made harmonicas - pity, they were also high quality instruments.
Then came Lee Oskar a few years ago with his name on a diatonic made to
Tombo line in the U.S.A. - which made me very happy. I'm glad that Lee at

given some pretty fantastic deals on these, not enough took advantage; the
shuttle-less chromatic, soprano or tenor pipehorn. This is just part of
demand to warrant stocking all the different models, as I suspect a

harmonica clubs - one of their ways of getting the word out on the L.O.
figure but he has donated many $$$ in Lee Oskar and Tombo harmonicas to

him for giving it up - at least temporarily.
On the other hand, I'm glad we still have a source for Tombos in Norman
