Old Town harmonica student wins Nobel Prize!

You didn’t know they offered a Nobel Prize in harmonica?

OK, it’s true: they don’t.

So instead, Roger Myerson was forced to do serious research in economics: that’s the work for which he is being recognized. But Roger is a fine harmonica player. So we’re hoping that he plays some harp when in Sweden to accept the prize, and that the Nobel folks are listening.

    Congratulations, Roger!

    As I enjoyed the harmonica session with you and Skip last Sunday, I was impressed by your expressive way of playing the harmonica. Little did I know that I was watching and playing along with a premier economist that was to be told later that week he had won the Nobel Prize.

    What a world this is when music unites the common folk with the uncommon.

    Best of luck to you Roger both with your economics and harp.

    I hope we can again share our music in another session.

    Bill
