Dear Friends,
It is my sad duty to report that Dr. Henry T. Bahnson, age 82, passed in his sleep on Friday, January 10th. For those of you who did not have the pleasure to know the good doctor, I'm sure you will find many in our community who will say good things about him. Besides being one of the top 12 surgeons of the 20th century, Dr. Bahnson was also a huge harmonica enthusiast. His casual interest in the harp turned into a passion after attending a workshop held by Howard Levy ca 1990, and resulted in a patented harmonica known as the "Bahnson Overblow."
Volumes can be written about Dr. Bahnson's accomplishments, both in the medical field and harmonica community. He was a gentleman's gentleman. And will be sorely missed.
