[@arcticbraga322]

Thank you Steve what a great video and hobby.

[@michaellee2652]

That’s so cool! I love old harps!!

[@keithjetski3060]

Perfect collection items for small spaces. Easy to pack and carry to a new place. Perfect fit for Philippines.

[@keithjetski3060]

Good idea for some random items.

[@JMgmkh]

Good to know Steve 👍

Blues Traveler is my favorite harmonica playing. Not particularly related, there’s a bluegrass band called Greensky Bluegrass that does a really good remake of Pink Floyd’s Time/Breathe reprise. Check it out if you haven’t heard it

All I could think of when I saw the thumbnail was that M*A*S*H* episode with Hawkeye telling someone "All I want is an HARMONICA." 🤣

Hi Steve great show ,i can hear the passion in your voice sadly you didn't pay for us any hope all well with you yet again God bless that care Guitar player myself over 40 years playing still leaning lots

[@PhilippinesTraveler2025]

OK Steve I'm running into alot of people saying if I live in Philippines my SSDI will stop they saying I'm not allowed to live their and collect SSDI. Is this true? I'm awarded that and 100% Disabled veteran pay

[@Iron2011rob]

People get SSI and SSDI confused. Under SSDI you can live outside the US while with SSI you can't. In essence SSI is welfare disability for people don't have enough work credits to insure.

[@PhilippinesTraveler2025]

@Iron2011rob tyvm that's what I been telling them plus I went to the social security office here in Florida and they said I still receive it no matter where I live the ssdi. Due to me being a disabled veteran

[@RichTravel1010]

It’s false !!! You lose SSI not SSDI

[@PhilippinesTraveler2025]

Tyvm. That's what Florida office i went into said but people are still saying you lose SSDI. That's why i ask you. Being a 100% disabled veteran i knew they couldn't take it away i been on it since 1997 ​@MrSteven5975

A very famous President used to play the harmonica!

[@candyman8055]

Too bad I didn't know. I go to estate sales. One guy had a 100 of them. I ended up buying a Hering Delux Chromatic 64. I went back to get another and some guy bought all the remaining for 2K. He probably made 10K on that deal. The one I bought was selling online for 250-300 USD and I think I paid $30. He had lots of old ones and all with the box/case

[@greggwoodcox2167]

I wasn't able to use PayPal on eBay Philippines. But used regular eBay to buy a guitar in Japan. It was 20k peso getting thru customs but a D'Angelico Archtop .If you want to play blues on a harmonica you play in cross-key. So if you have a harp in the key of c the guitar would play in g. If you play in the same key you sound country or like Bob Dylan.

I picked up stuff from the ships I was on or old navy gunners mate chief stuff

[@Neal_only1]

The only way i would purchase coins in the future would be graded encased by either PCGS or NGC grading agencies❤

[@RichTravel1010]

Even then China puts out graded fakes. Checkout Lazada

[@johnbergeron9997]

I've bought many cars and trucks on ebay

[@Synfulz]

When I wanted to bid on a item on Ebay I would snipe bid in about last 20 seconds.

[@elitepctech]

Instead of an actual birthday or Xmas card with cash inside, better to send email and gift of currency electronically. Important documents that need to be shipped to the Philippines, I would recommend FedEx envelopes with tracking. Expensive, pero it will get there still sealed.

[@brianmccallister2981]

Instead of having it shipped here I have it sent to my sister in California and then she sends it in a balikbian box.

[@Crazy_Bullfrog]

I have mine sent to a cousin in London and then forwarded on.

[@ChrisStanford]

Great video! Thank you for information and insight.
