So, Tom, are you saying there is a link between playing the harmonica and being on death row? Maybe we should continue teaching kids to play the recorder so we don't raise a generation of harmonica playing thugs! ;-)
As for me, I sing tenor. I've sung in two temple dedication choirs, in fact. I've tinkered with piano and guitar just a little bit, but not very good on either. I think anyone can play harmonica, since I've been known to play one in the past. Oh, and I love playing the recorder, which is probably the main thing that's kept me out of prison all these years.
