It is you who have given me the generous gift, my friend, in playing a harmonica that my wife would have otherwise sold for $5 in a garage sale after I bite it. I trust the other ones I sent out are being used by kindred souls in a similar manner, albeit less skillfully than you have demonstrated, I'm sure...kinda.

The FMWoodeye handle is an abbreviation for Fat Melon Woodeye. Since I'm a fat guy with a big head, Fat Melon is appropriate and comports with other bluesman names in which a fruit and a disability (if obesity is a disability) are manifest. The Woodeye part comes from my prosthetic eye as well as my love of the old woodeye/harelip joke. I often wear an eyepatch and switch eyes from time to time, just like Igor (eye-gor) in Young Frankenstein, although I can't drive when I have the patch over the good eye.

Very cool! When I first heard your playing on David Barret's "Shuffle King" I knew - swing is what you do so GOOD!

Woodeye, you are one seriously funny man. love your sense of humor. Yeah, you gave away a bunch of those CX-12s. I hope they are being blessed by them too...I have a few CX er's, but did not have the Key of "A" that you gave me, so getting that one was awesome! Thank you to Sarge and Wheel for givin a quick listen.. Here is the smae tune but this time played on a high harp using a lot of lipblock too.

Sweet playing Frank. You sound totally at home with the Chrom. Like the latest one too - you have a knack of keeping things interesting.

Thanks Owl...You know - it is important for me to try and keep things as interesting as possible - my first love is improvisation and is what I spend most of my time messing with and not wanting to bore myself I kind of am extra aware of tickling my own fancy, musically speaking of course- hahahahahha :)
