Wild West Alien Bar

I started this hoping for a Kazoo. Musescore did disappoint. I wanted to have some sort of a kazoo-Honkytonkpiano encounter. I have to talk to them about this.
(A COMPLAINT)
(Even though I began my electronic musical journey in the 1970s in a music lab between a couple of Moog Synths-- and was taught via patch chords and ADSR and white noise generators how to sample the waves and create all sort of sonorities-- can't Musescore just devise a kazoo for me?)
I also was hoping for a Hurdy-gurdy. (I really want a real one of those.) Alas Musescore did not have one. So block chords, with a jaunty little melody in the Harmonica, which my husband thought sounded like a Wild West Bar-so it is named. The Piano and HonkyTonkPiano sounded too much alike. I was hoping for some quarter-tone dissonance-- as HonkyTonkpiano is supposed to be wildly out of tune. I did play around with Dominant 7th chords and Major 7th chords to raise a few eyebrows.
It is a happy piece with a bit of a maybe 1930s swing tempo.
