I want one of these....



A Lee Oskar harmonica. Ok, actually I want a couple of these--one in every key available. I have been playing harmonicas for a little over a year now. I just got it in my head one day that I wanted to play and went out and bought a case of cheapo plastic harmonicas--one in every key for about $25 total. I have paid my dues on those and some are already starting to wear out. Now that I know that I do really enjoy playing harmonica and would like to improve, I think it is worth investing in some good ones that will sound better too.

I have incorporated the harmonica on the days that I play with a music team for church. Not only do I have a blast, but I will have people tell me how much they loved it! My favorite though was when a little old lady literally chased me down to tell me how thrilled she was to hear a harmonica and played by a woman nonetheless!

I will be taking my harmonicas with me to Africa and will likely leave them behind with someone. I hope to have at least one nice harmonica before then so I don't have to go cold turkey.
