Sometime in my young childhood I once had a miniature electronic keyboard -- a toy a bit smaller than a pocket calculator, with calculator-like rubber buttons for keys, I think at least an octave but less than two octaves. The buttons were numbered, and it came with a folded-up paper detailing how to play a few tunes. For some reason, I memorized "Oh Susanna." In numbers. And at the moment it's going round and round my brain.

From my attempts at learning the harmonica, I sat here and tried humming that out and actually managed to get pretty close. I got to the "Oh, I know this tune, what is it?" point, actually.
