Has anyone else had the pleasure of being on a flight piloted by the jovial, harmonica-playing Captain Michael D. "Mad Dog" Watson?
I was on his flight a few months ago and have been meaning to post about it. After boarding he surprised all the PAX by launching into some impassioned harmonica music over the PA system. He continued to intersperse the pre-flight announcements with melodies on the harmonica.
We also got a good-bye song after the landing. Everybody applauded enthusiastically after the performance. It made my day and put everybody on that morning flight in a good mood. ^
I also found a relatively recent article in which he's mentioned and you can listen to him play:
