Subject: Re: the beginnings of classical harmonica playing

Larry claims a lot of things - including an affair
with Ingrid Bergman - after she had died and couldn't
respond (or be embarrassed if it were true - was he
being a gentleman, a cad or both?)

As Adler himself warns in the preface to his
autobiography, "It ain't necessarily so," which is one
of the reasons I'd like to hear from non-interested
parties and researchers.
