The Resume

    (June 27, 1805-October 1, 1864)
    Clockmaker
    Invented the modern harmonica (1821)
    Harmonica is based on China's 'Shêng' of 3000 B.C.
    Named his invention mund-aeoline (mouth harp)

Why he might be annoying:

    The harmonica can be a very irritating instrument.
    After a four game losing streak, Yankee manager Yogi Berra asked Phil Linz to stop playing the harmonica on a bus trip. Not hearing Yogi, he asked Mickey Mantle if he heard Yogi said? Mantle told him Yogi said play louder, so he did. Yogi lost his temper and a brawl ensued (1964).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He invented the harmonica at sixteen.
    He put fifteen pitchpipes together to make the prototype harmonica.
    His invention was four inches wide and played 21 notes and six tones. It is very portable and easy to learn.
    The harmonica is a mainstay among prisoners, soldiers and students.
