decided to play the music he so loved.

Vaudeville harmonica player Lou Delin died on this day in 1999. Lou had
been playing since the mid-1920's, first with Borrah Minevitch and later
with several Vaudeville harmonica bands. he dropped out of professional
music during the depression, but later helped to found harmonica clubs in
Florida and New York. He was also one of the nicest guys that you'd ever
want to meet.

That's all I have for today. Have fun and practice.
