10 Ways to Tell A Musical Geek

1) He never seems lonely
Musical geeks commonly keep the social tools for amusing themselves close at hand. For example, if a playable harmonica USB flash drive isn’t protruding from said musical geek’s pocket protector, it’s probably because its dual-purpose functionality—that of playable harmonica and handy data storage device—is being demonstrated to a throng of geeky musical bystanders whose common propensity for pocket protectors is similarly apparent.

2) He has plenty of capacity
Fortunately, his aforementioned playable harmonica USB flash drive’s memory provides him with tons of extra data storage for tunes, scores and instructional videos, coming in 2, 4 and 8GB capacities.

3) Curiosity is his trademark
Musical geeks love anything they can get their hands on that has to do with their favored instrument. The more authentic and musically geeky, the better. FlashHarp is a real, 3" harmonica...


4) He’s got a grasp of the big picture
The musical geek has read all of the press quotes, "how-to" tips and links to articles that have been written about the playable harmonica USB flash drive. He’s even seen the “Satellite View” of the big backyard of BackyardBrand.

5) His musical geekiness is plain to see
The musical geek wears his figurative heart on his figurative sleeve, as is evident by the harmonica USB flash drive that he's so eager to show everyone. He’s even mastered “Flash Dance” on the thing…


6) He loves to connect with likeminded musical geeks
Yes, he "Likes" http://facebook.com/BackyardBrand.

7) He feels appreciated—personally
His personalized harmonica USB flash drive proves that he is, in fact, loved. In turn, the aunt, mother, cousin or sibling who gave him his playable harmonica USB flash drive feels greatly appreciated _by him_. (Personalization is available to the girlfriends of musical geeks, as well, in those rare instances when such a relationship exists.)

8) His mind is open to the unknown, which, btw…
For example, his playable harmonica USB flash drive proved an ideal "first" harmonica for him even tho he ran into a number musical mysteries...

9) …he processes on his own terms (ones and zeros)
The "5 Basic Steps to Playing" lesson video available on all playable harmonica USB flash drives geekily unmasked for him all of the harmonica's little quirks, thereby empowering him to quickly start "picking it up." He’s almost certainly watched The Backyard Harmonica Teacher perform his1-minute bit at least 100 times.


10) He’s always ready to get geeky!
If you know a geek who currently does not possess a playable harmonica USB flash drive, buy him one now—he’ll love the fact that there's no substi"toot!" (Pat. Nos. D624,550 and D602,940)

10 TIPS ON HOW TO DELIGHT A MUSIC LOVER

1) Help her live out her passion...
Passionate people love to share their passion with others. Having a FlashHarp will help your music lover expose her musical soul to the world.

2) Appeal to her musical curiosity...
For example, the true music lover can't resist picking up and playing with small, musical oddities that make sounds and notes. The more musically weird and compact, the better!

3) Help her do practical stuff...
The FlashHarp can do more than play, its USB can be plugged into any computer to immediately provide 2, 4 or 8GBs of extra memory for storing tunes, pics or videos. (I use my mine to collect photos, thoughts and oversized art files… http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.203726201.jpg )

4) Open up new musical worlds...
FlashHarp is an ideal "first" harmonica. Naturally, someone who's never played a harmonica will run into a few musical mysteries—but no worries...

5) Keep it simple, silly (K.I.S.S.)
FlashHarp’s "5 Basic Steps" video lesson by “The Backyard Harmonica Teacher" unmasks the harmonica's little quirks. (You can get the video preloaded on any FlashHarp you choose.)

8) Play musical matchmaker...
"A mouth organ is a man's best friend, Peekay. You can slip it in your pocket and when you're sad it will make you happy. When you're happy it can make you want to dance. If you have a mouth organ in your pocket you'll never starve for company or a good meal. You should try it, it's a certain cure for loneliness." (from "The Power of One," a wonderful novel by Bryce Courtenay)

9) Offer a token of your own musical appreciation...
Robert Louis Stevenson wrote, "A friend is a gift you give yourself." FlashHarp is a great way to "give" your special musical friend to yourself. It will delight, as well as engender a greater appreciation of you!

10) Let the good times roll!
FlashHarp can satisfy any music connoisseur's craving for a "wacky fix." It's certainly more fun than an ordinary flash drive. Buy one today and delight all your special musical friends.

There's no substi"toot!"
