Last night I went to a blues jam but wanted to have the option of inconspicuously bolting early if I didn't feel like playing so only took 3 harps along: C, D and A. A harp playing buddy of mine was there and asked if I wanted to do the dueling harmonica thing with him(which I've always contended came from the movie Beligerence). I told him I only had three harps, told him which ones, and told him that I almost brought an F as well. He pulled the 4 harps he had with him out of his pocket: C, D, A and F. We both had a good laugh. I thought it ironic since this thread had been on-list yesterday.
