I spend 8 to 10 hours a workday driving. I pick up a harp to work on a riff or to attempt to get something to fit into the music that I am listening to or to find the key of said music. Red lights and stops in traffic occur often enough to scratch my itch. I don't put up sheet music and drive with my knee. I wont use a rack, as those airbags really come at you, well..thats what I hear. Using an harmonica to alleviate the stress of driving is probably safer than waving a middle finger.
