I GREW UP WATCHING THE MARX BROTHERS AND TRULY LOVED GROUCHO'S GENIUS AND CHICO'S WONDERFUL PIANO PLAYING BUT EVERY TIME HARPO PLAYED HIS HARP I SAT DOWN,I HAD AN AUNT THAT HAD AN ALBUM THAT HAD HIM PLAYING RUSSIAN RHAPSODY ON IT AND A SONG FROM LOVE CRAZY WHERE HE PLAYED THE HARP FOR VERA ELLEN IN THE MOVIE AND I'VE ALWAYS SIGHED-WOW! EVERY TIME,WHICH IS SOMETHING I STILL DO EVEN WHEN THEY SHOW THE I LOVE LUCY EPISODE WHERE HE PLAYED TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME-I REMEMBER GROUCHO TELLING DICK CAVETT THAT WHEN THEIR MOTHER MINNIE PASSED AWAY IT HIT EACH OF THEM DEEPLY AND EACH TIME CHICO OR HARPO PLAYED THEIR TOOLS[ INSTRUMENTS] THEY'D GET A LOOK,THAT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE FOCUSED ON WHAT THEY WERE PLAYING,IT WASN'T, IT WAS BOTH OF THEM THINKING ABOUT THEIR MOTHER WHO WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR EACH LESSON AND BOTH CHICO AND HARPO ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT THAT,AND IT WAS THEIR WAY OF SAY I LOVE YOU AND I HOPE YOUR PROUD OF ME,THEY PICKED EACH INSTRUMENT BECAUSE IT WAS SOOTHING AND PEACEFUL AND OF COURSE YOU COULD MAKE ALOTTA MONEY,I SEE HARPO SOMETIMES BEND DOWN OR LEAN INTO HIS HARP,LIKE HE'S ALMOST PUTTING HIS HEAD ON SOMEONE'S SHOULDER AND THAT'S WHY I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT HARPO WAS THE FAVORITE MARX BROTHER THAT MILLIONS OF FANS CHERISHED
