Where's herbie and fatveg? Oh, I'm still around. Don't check this board often now. I started a new business that took 110% of my time, fell off the board, came back after a while but immediately let myself get dragged into an unhealthy discussion, which I don't necessarily need, so I backed off tot...

He wants to play kids songs. He's only 5. I started with Mel Bay's Harmonica Pocketbook (well... besides the little paper that comes with many harmonicas). It has a nice selection of tunes, on the right level, and the price is right, at under a dollar. I started with the Klutz book (something like ...

But, certain vegetables have been known to practice harp while driving freeways. Geez, my 22-string even wouldn't fit between me and the steering wheel. :lol: (You have to consider your audience when using words like harp or dulcimer.)

Can't say the 'veg condones playing ANY misical struments in automobiles. But, certain vegetables have been known to practice harp while driving freeways. Relaxing and not nearly as dangerous as whiskles. Only one hand needed, and no auto-lobotomy danger. Probably still illegal. Which is why i've ne...

No, I'm not after a fight :D I'm agreeing with you wholeheartedly on the fact that people loose their heads when it comes to religion and spirituality. I just don't see that as an exclusively 'westerners...

Finally one of the things I decided a long time ago, FWIW, is that when people talk the talk, but don't walk the walk, I don't really care what they say.
