HARMONICA VIRTUOSI

To the uninitiated it hardly seems
possible that a wealth of melody
and sweet sound can be coaxed from
so simple contrivance as the har~
monica. The world has heretofore
been too prone in it's discussion of
this unique instrument to dismiss
it with wave Of the hand and d
shrug of the shoulder and say,
'"That little thing-a real musical
instrument? Tut. Tut! It's only a
toy"
Today, however, millions of peo-
pie who have heard the superb
playing of the now world-famous
harmonica rascals enjoy harmonica
music with the same keen pleasure
as though they were listening to
virtuosi of the violin or piano. AS
masters of the harmonica, the ras-
Gals, diligently trained by inimitable
Borrah Minevitch, stand sublimely
alone, admired not only for their
uncanny ability in extracting SYM
