Re: [Harp-L] Harmonica cutting contest at SPAH

Wow, I'm actually agreeing with Buzz. While I understand the "contest" 
concept, I also feel it would be a negative thing. I'm way too 
self-concious when I play, and with my bad hearing and lack of talent, 
it takes a lot of my energy to sit in on anything at SPAH where there 
are other harmonica players. The encouragment I have gotten from Buzz 
and other players has helped me immensely in past years. I know, I 
wouldn't have to enter a "cutting contest" but I have to agree with 
Buzz and fjm, that it would not be a good idea. Damn, though, wouldn't 
it be fun to hear Smokey Joe and George Brooks go head to head?

I do not believe music should ever be a contest.  I think it would be
against everything SPAH stands for.  If it was a contest why would I
go?  I'd lose.  SPAH gives us so much more. It's a place to share, be
helped and help each other. Head cutting is stupid. It's a joke that my
guitar player and I do at gigs to make people think were trying to out
do each other. When in reality were trying to help each other sound 
good.Â
