You Know My Name (But I Bet You Had No Clue I Played Harmonica)

BEHOLD. My salvation for my hour of TA-time 3 mornings a week!

The Best Instrument EVER After the Violin (and guitar, because that's what Adi plays)

You see, my family is getting ready for a garage sale, and in between the piles of old dolls and stinky riding boots, I found this amazing harmonica! But instead of the usual reminiscent "Oh my gosh, I forgot I had this! So and so got it for her birthday fifty billion years ago from la di da dude," the first thought that came to mind was "Now I have something to do while I 'assist' my dear, DEAR teacher!" And THAT thought, my friends, was quickly followed by an obnoxious mind-cackle.

It gets better. I found a helpful "For Beginners Only: How to Play the Marine Band Type Hohner Harmonica" guide. My master plan consists of sneaking (aka walking in normally, just with a hidden harmonica) into said teacher's office, blowing a loud, piercing note, watching a hopefully VERY amusing reaction, and then actually learning how to play it correctly. Don't you think it would be cool to know how to play 2 instruments? Psh, violin and piano is typical. Violin and a regular band instrument is traitorous. But violin and HARMONICA? Epic, epic, spectacular, epic. :D
