Thanks...as you can see the thread turned out much longer than I ever would have thought for such a trivial (but fun) subject. And I learned more than my lil' ol' brain could absorb about bass harmonicas, distorted guitars, jug band music and such. It just goes to prove that FReepers are definitely the most informed people this side of the universe on any and all topics: politics, sports, music and everything else.
You can say that again. It's why I love the sort of trivia thread you put up. I always learn the most amazing things by reading those. I mean, bass harmonica?
It never dawned on me that such an instrument even existed - though when I recall the Green Acres theme song in my head, I can clearly hear it. I think to myself, "well, of course!"
Thanks for opening up such an entertaining discussion.
