I walk into a bar,Its a bar pretty much like them all, small crowd of regulars,a few friends of the band playing,Ive been invited to sit in for the night kind of a audition,I walk in with 2 amps and a cargo box. I set my amps up,adjusting the knobs that got out of whacked on the ride over,I take out my harp case out of the larger cargo case,I open them up,Im hoping that these out of the box harps still have some life in them that each note plays in tune,There not the exspensive customs that some players swear by,But they cost enough for my taste,and play all right for me,I look at them thinking yea you guys will get the job done just fine If I play you with my soul,Soul thats something they cant teach,No private lessons,No skype, no online lessons,Only you and your soul can hit that one note ,that says im here to play,yea I think to myself,Have i prepared enough,will i do this band right or will I have to slip out the back embarrassed from that solo that had to many notes in the wrong places,Maybe someone will utube a video of me screwing up so the world can see me at my worst moment ,In my short musical journey,All of a suddden the lead guitarist,taps me on the back,and says glad you made it,Hands me a beer mug and says fill it up,were drinking free tonght,I look over as i fill up my glass and theres a young hot lady that winks at me,I shyly smile back I remember her,from the last time I played she was dancing in front of me as I played a harp solo,Made me allmost miss a note,but who cares all of a sudden,all the stress starts to leave me,I remembered why I started this journey,For FREE BEER;-)

You're living my dream Hobo, not the free beer as such, but the lady and the rest of the deal.
Live it and enjoy it

I play harp because I don't know how to play anything else.

Im telling you guys No need to get custom harps or exspensive personal lessons.The trick to it Is finding 1 note, ,the internet gives you a bunch of notes to choose,Its up to you though to find the mojo of the 1 note,Its like magic its a note that can be bent and every once and awhile you go WA WA with it at just the right spot in a song,wait a couple bars and WA WA ,then go sip on your FREE BEER,You can milk it all night WA WA sip beer,It even gets the women stired up and dancing WA WA sip beer easy ;-)

I'm curious, does this have anything to do with free beer? Guess I haven't arrived yet no free beer on the house for me yet. As long as you got your Wa Wa's out :) .
