Mojo, I wouldn't trade your tasteful playing for twice that kid's 
speed.  My guess is that if you *wanted* to play like that and worked 
on it for, say, nine months, you'd have it nailed.  But it's also my 
guess that for someone who's been with the harmonica for a while -- 
long enough to see what it can really do -- they're going to get 
burned out on the flashy stuff pretty quick.  Except maybe someone 
like Jason Ricci, who can out flash anyone I've ever seen, and still 
knows where his soul is.
