I might have to study a lesson in one or both of the books before the SO gets home from work, and then practice when she’s not around or while I’m driving. The first 80 miles aren’t too bad. I can load the CDs into the car’s changer.
I’ve only looked at two of videos so far. Both have guys that enjoy showing off their virtuosity, which isn’t helpful. One (admittedly, the other wasn’t quite an introductory video) shows how to hold a harp and suggests practicing single notes, then practice the ‘train’ (draw ‘ah-tick-ah’, blow ‘ah’) at slow speed for about a week. Single notes I can do, and I play tunes I know when i can’t ‘get’ or else am not in an amenable situation to practice ‘technique’. I can do the train, slowly; but it gets boring quickly. I need to do some reading/viewing on how to do certain things (e.g., bending) so I can practice those.
So I have some harmonicas in their individual plastic cases that have been gathered over the years. I thought it might be a good idea to put them all in one place; you know, like a ‘case’. Hohner makes a 7-harp one that looks good – only try to find just the case! It seems they all come filled with even more harmonicas. I found one on Amazon for $128 (IIRC) – just for the case. I found just the case at another site for $29. Today I ordered Hohner’s ‘Piedmont Blues’ harmonica set in the case. I don’t need the instruments (which are plastic), but I get the case for $20. 
Maybe I can find a gang of seven children I can give the harps (A, Bb, C, D, E, F and G) to.
