"That photo also shows Mark Hummel, Jim McLaughlin and a very young looking 
 Carlos del Junco (kneeling front left, winner of both the blues & jazz  
diatonic competitions) as well as Franz Chmel, Jim Hughes and Yasuo Watani. 
I'm  not in it as I was still asleep during the prizegiving ceremony when the 
photo  was taken, after running sessions until the wee wee hours for 4 days 
on  end."

Hey, thanks Steve... I should have recognized  Carlos, and I kind of 
thought it might be Mark ....although he's changed just a  wee bit from when I saw 
him most recently at SPAH 2009. 
 
The others I simply wouldn't recognize so easily,  having come to the 
harmonica world fairly late in the game...but it's a nice,  nostalgic photo. It's 
a shame you couldn't be there - captured for posterity,  but from reading 
Jean LaBre's writings, it's obvious just how intensive the  
seminars/festivities are at Trossingen.  And I thought SPAH was  tiring!
