I haven't. Funny thing is, there is Timothy 'Hawkeye' Kane, (no 'i') who has been a member here for a long time. :)

Musical training is common among the elites who tend to end up running for high office, and for good reason I believe. The discipline acquired in learning a musical instrument will serve one well in all areas of life.
I found this list of presidents who played instruments. I had heard that Lincoln played harmonica but he is listed here as a violinist. I thought perhaps the compiler did not consider the harmonica an instrument, but I see Calvin Coolidge is listed as a harmonica player.

Well bugger me, I won't play to anyone because of a lack of confidence and performance phobia, but I know I'm 100 times better than this bloke. However he does have the guts to make an idiot of himself in public, I'm sure many players will cringe at this.

Wonder what he plays . . . I could see the major companies chomping at the bit to try and make him an endorsee (which would likely require a big campaign donation)

Looks like he was having a good time. More power to him.

Thanks for the videos. Tim ain't half bad, and does seem to be having big fun playing our instrument. What'd really be great would be him opening the DNC with a cross harp version of The Star Spangled Banner.

I was just watching Gayle King on CBS, and she was talking about Tim's rep for being boring. Someone said, "Well, he plays harmonica" and Gayle replied, "The harmonica is not a very sexy instrument."

I disagree - she needs to see some video of Junior Wells.

Thanks for posting the two links. I was going to start a thread on if anyone knew VP or Pres..... or any other world leaders, who played the harp....

As for Kaine, he appears to be enjoying the instrument as much as each of us.

Timeistight, can you imagine the security problems- everyone having to go through metal detectors and then everyone having to get a pat down because they had a suspicious object in their pocket?!

I got stopped by security at the Empire State Plaza up here at the NY Capitol once. They didn't want to let me through with my harmonica.

@nate: they wouldn't let me through, either, but only because they'd heard me play.

I think everyone knows that former U.S. President Bill Clinton played the saxophone, but did you know Bill's former White House intern, Monica Lewinsky, played the upright organ?....
