[Harp-L] Subject: Re: An accomplishment

[EGS1217@xxxxxxx]

Not sure if everyone knows, yet...but it seems Ms. Berthon came in 2nd at  
Trossingen. Quite an accomplishment by any harmonica player's standards. I'd 
 guess 75% or better of the players here would be ecstatic by placing 2nd.
 
However, it seems it wasn't a good enough placement for her. She's very  
upset and stating that she isn't going to play for a long time now due to her  
anger at the judges  denying her what she seems to believe was her  first 
place win - and tells her fans they should blame the judges  (and even write 
to them to complain about being deprived of her music) - or am I  
misunderstanding what's written in the margin? (click on 'more info'  there).

The judges were: Joe Filisko, Jerry Portnoy, Carlos del Junco, 'Marcos' and 
 'Henry'. She also expresses her disgruntledness over JJMilteau never  
telling her she was a good musician.
 
I give up. I've decided that for me, personally...the continuing drama  
isn't worth spending further time watching any videos she might post in the  
future even though I was once a big fan of her playing. So I'm done and  am 
cancelling my subscription to her YouTubes.
