=A0=A0=A0The book, a novel, is "Been Down So Long, Looks Like Up To Me" by

Speaking of novels involving harmonica players. =A0I've been trying to

Harmonica Summit. =A0The author's name was Andy something. =A0Howard
thought it was the best book he'd read in terms of dealing with the

I really enjoyed "Me And My Big Mouth" by Larry Adler. =A0I'd bet his
other books are good too.
