My father was in a dance band, and I wanted to do what he did, play the saxophone, but I couldn't blow a note, so he suggested the guitar. Chromatic harmonica was actually my first instrument, and I got very good at it - not quite Stevie Wonder, but very good.
What we devised for The Full Monty was a little sort of odd band full of slightly unusual instruments that you wouldn't normally put together, like a harmonica and an acoustic guitar and a baritone sax.
We couldn't even see him, but he ripped it on the harmonica and took it over the top, ... He brought the dirty swamp vibe out.
So we played one, and then he got a harmonica and played with us.
