Cool video but have to ask "what gave you the idea of a jail house video?" Just wondering!

@toomyg155 Well, I was touring this old prison museum and we were comparing the place to the prison in Shawshank Redemption. One of my favorite parts is when Andy gave Red a harmonica. I was thinking how cliche' it is in movies to feature harmonica in jail, and also the fact that I haven't been making many youtube videos lately. I thought it'd be funny and fun, so we shot the vid and here it is.

[12gagedan]

@dcalstring  Might be tricky with a regulator, but maybe you could build one into a commercial-style diving helmet. Play for the whales. . .

@GMSamuelRhine probably'll cost you a few cigs.

If you've watched survivor man you know you can make a shank out of the case of the harmonica. I doubt they'd be aloud.

Straight up think your a genius man I picked up the harmonica yesterday just mastering them single notes at the moment while watching all your videos how long have you been playing ??

[toomyg155]

@12gagedan Cool and thanks for the fast reply just don't go testing this out by doing something that put you in the slammer LOL!!!! Have a good one!

I've seen some people play harmonica while example playing guitar, using these kind of holders, so you don't use your hands, could you make a tutorial for that? Also great work, please keep it up!
