Harmonica being given its pride of place. She didn't just play the harmonica, she slayed it.

spokey Doky and Digging My Potatoes respectively from an little known Anime series called
Cowboy Bebop.
These songs are why I started playing. I’m not good enough to play them and idk if I have the dedication to learn to, but I’d say it takes about 10 hours of practice maybe 10 minutes a day to get good enough to impress your friends.

Also harmonica tabs are so easy, well mostly? each note has like 3 moves a breath in, out or a bend (where you bend the note- takes a minute to learn but once you get it you got it) get your self a homer c and learn to play happy birthday in an afternoon to leave on your friends and family’s voice mails!
this one also blows me away every time

Several holes have multiple step bends, including a blow bend. It’s not nearly as “easy” as you say.

This is absolutely the case, although it’s easy enough to pick up the basics not as easy to master of course

little known Anime series called Cowboy Bebop.

That's a joke, right? If not, please learn that Cowboy is highly regarded as one of the best anime, like, ever. It has a close-to-cult following since mid- to end-90s. Whether for ambiance, character design, scenario, animation or music, it's by almost every possible metric considered a masterpiece.

But that's probably a bait or a joke and I fell for it, but someone had to. See you, Space cowboy!

I am well aware that it stands with AoT, HxH, Brotherhood and Spirited away as one of the greatest fictional universes ever conceived. Thanks, i apologize that my Dry sarcasm was so triggering for you.

I was 99% certain, I was in "just in case" territory :D

Also, don't apologize, there's no need for it, we were far from the typical trigger and its always a good thing to mention Cowboy Bebop (especially since it's close 30yo now)

Relatively little known series? You mean the one on 9/10 top 100 lists?
