Subject: cost of first harp

The first harp I brought, the second I owned, was an Echo Vamper 10 hole in
Bb and it cost 9 shillings and 6 old pence. ITV hadn't been invented and
you could still get Black Cat cigeretts out of a despenser in packs of 5.
At that time I figued a harp was good for 4 days, One day breaking
in, one day for giging and it was on it's way out on the last two ! In the
first ten years I spent a thousand pounds a year on harps. A three story
house in Islington cost 3000 pounds and Hohner said then as now they are
most interested in the first time buyer - David
