indeed Jumbo, but one of the best examples is on Krokodil's(swiss) - An Invisible World Revealed, truly one of the best albums that blends Prog with BluesRock!

Ian Anderson breaks out the blues harp at times.

So does Chris Squire.

"It's amazing that we've been able to put up with each other for 35 years. Most marriages don't last that long these days."

Watched the Steve Hackett DVD 'Horizons' the other day...he tears off a killer harmonica solo on 'Camino Royale'.....this is interesting to me, since I almost started a topic last year which would've gone something like this:  If his formidable harmonica talent was utilized in Genesis, would it have served as a benefit or a detriment to any of their songs?  Apparently a detriment I guess, since it was never attempted (that I know of).

Anyway, sorry to go off-topic.

Gong use it once, played by Tim Blake (an excellent performance, by the way) at the beginning of the track "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" from their album "Live etc."

Steve Hackett is a very accomplished harmonica player!
