From: "Robert Eberwein"
Subject: ~How To Play Harmonica- While Sleeping!~

Mr. Bonfiglio said,

sell books, not teach people to play. 5 easy minutes and you too the harmonica! The only thing they do is to turn people on instrument; but to study an instrument, you need a TEACHER, not good teacher can grab material from hundreds of sources.

I'm amazed anyone had the chutzpah to say that. I'd long wanted to point out
that there are NO books that say, ~Play Oboe, In 20 Days!~. I mean, I love
books, but one would ever, if serious, approach learning the saxophone by
buying one ~How To-~ book after another. One gets a teacher. The teacher
recommends a Drill Book to complement your Music Theory books. Boom**.

What I'm looking forward to is the ~Make 5 Thou A Week At Home, Lose Weight,
Acquire 6 Foreign Languages AND Master Harmonica~ CDRom package [with, sure
to amaze your friends, package of legal, for home use, Oriental Poppy
seeds]. Coming soon.

**Although, to be fair, instruments used in ~Pop~ music have their own set
of rules, and, today, loop machines and dual turntables are as ~legitimate~
as a kettle drum [And, it always makes for a confused debate when we mix Pop
Harp and Classical Chromatic- - -though I welcome their coming together].
