[Harp-L] Time to say thank you

[Christelle Berthon <christellester@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,

8 days since the end of the SPAH '09 edition, and yes this is the time  
to say thank you.

1) To Tom Stryker, Paul Davies and Warren Bee who made this convention  
one of the best (probably the best) harmonica experience of my life.  
The organization of this kind of event takes a lot of time, dedication  
and energy, and they've been OUTSTANDING at any levels.

2) To all the players I've met : sitting with the chromatic players,  
jamming with the bluegrass players like Carrie and David, being in the  
blues circle and listening to Rob Paparozzi, Richard Sleigh, Steve  
Baker, Todd Parrot, Nic Clark, Gary Smith, the legendary Buzz Krantz  
(Buzz I love you) , TJ Klay, Dennis Gruenling, Gary Smith, Will  
Scarlett, Dave Barrett, and everyone else (I can't mentioned everyone)  
who have been inspirational and a priceless emotional experience.

3) To ALL the harmonica companies: Seydel, Suzuki, and Hohner have  
made a terrific job. The availability  of Rupert Oysler, the kindness  
of Sissi Jones, the outstanding dedication of the Suzuki team have to  
be recognized and mentionned.

4) A Special mention to Seydel (RupertOysler), Blowsmeaway  
productions, and Jeffrey Spoor from http://cumberlandcustomcases.com/.  
Without them these wonderful days wouldn't have been for ever in my  
life.

5) To Jimi Lee who played wonderfully with me

6) And Finally to JASON RICCI: from the Blow-Off till the end of the  
convention, Jason has been available, kind, wise, and always happy to  
provide the best advice he can give for everybody
