Jam Hack, Jam Slut, and Weekend Warrior are usually
like finger nails on a chalk board when I hear them play.
The worst part is when they think they're the greatest. LOL

In your travels is it common to come across players who consider themselves semi-pro status who also suffer from megalomania?

Lyrics added as spam decoy :)

Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Well, I ain't broke but I'm badly bent
Everybody loves them dead presidents

A little bit of Lincoln, can't park the car
Washington, he can't go too far
Jefferson is good, played the track
If you think, you're gonna bring some big bitch back

Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Well, I ain't broke but I'm badly bent
Everybody loves them dead presidents

Hamilton on a ten, can get you straight
But Jackson on a twenty is really great
And if you're talkin' about a poor man's friend
Grant will get you out of whatever you're in

Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Well, I ain't broke but I'm badly bent
Everybody loves them dead presidents

A hundred dollar Franklin is really sweet
A five hundred McKinley is the one for me
If I get a Cleveland, I'm really set
A thousand dollar Cleveland is hard to get

Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Well, I ain't broke but I'm badly bent
Everybody loves them dead presidents

Yeah there are"semi pro" players that suffer from megalomania. You tell them because they have more harmonicas than you can imagine and the best equipment wear sunglasses and have the worst tone.

Sometimes you find semi pro guys that can really play well. They could turn pro with little trouble.

I have a lot of harps. I sometimes worry that I am "that guy".

Frank - what class do you consider yourself? "could be a Local Pro if you wanted to be"?

Me, I'm definitely nails-on-blackboard

GHand...Never, I will always be a lowly farmer of the land and a peddler of comedic non-sense. I have friends and family who have traveled that path and the fantasy is easier for me the live out. I know musicians kid about playing music for a living because that hate "real work"---We all know that playing music for real will make a working man out of a lazy man real quick :)

Oh, and I'm a "hobbiest" a class below a jamhack :)

In my experience the Jam Slut will go around the world for $20. By the time you get up to Local Pro, you're talking like a c-note at least.

The luxury of one class is counterbalanced by the indigence of another.”
Henry David Thoreau,


Well they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine
