Hey... I gotta add something here. I don't have a club here, it's just me in the heart of Yankeedom trying to put this harp contest together. I've never done this before, so it was a bit scary, but I thought it would benefit the instrument to have a contest as part of an old-time a festival. It really felt like I was alone until Jason offered his help to come and judge, be Jason Ricci and play some bluegrass on stage, then Seydel USA footed prizes. 
   
  Well, now there is another. Jeff "The Man" Spoor of the AWESOMEST CASES Cumberland Cases called me out of the blue today and offered a case for a prize... I've not seen it yet, it's on the way but I know it will rule! Rule!
   
  So, now, the grand prize is a Seydel 1847 in a leather, made in the U.S.A. Cumberland custom harmonica case. That is awesome. 
   
  I am plum flutterated by the generosity of Jason Ricci, Seydel USA and Cumberland Cases. None of these people asked for anything in return. I am Plum flutterated and gentlemen, you can't get much more flutterated than that.
