That IS starting early, I must say!

I'm curious about that harp. It doesn't look like a Marine Band or any harp I know. It's got rounded corners (MB's are sharp), unvented cover plates held on with Sp20-style screws (you can see the square nut by your little finger).

But maybe one night you wuz drinkin' an' jammin' with Big Walter down at the club, an' he sez "That white boy got potential," so he gives you one of his Filisko (also in diapers at that point) MB/Sp20 hybrids that he got from little Howie Levy, who was doing some crazy shit up in New York. Yeah, that's it...
