Yeah, I enjoyed it too.
The question the first judge asked--"is harmonica big enough to win this show? Does it wow you enough?"--was a good question. You could ask it of any instrument; it's the player, not the instrument, that makes the instrument riveting.
Pierre played well, but the second judge's comment that "aside form Larry Adler, you're the best technical harmonica player I've ever seen," wasn't a very informed one. If you go to SPAH in any given year, you see a lot of players at or above that level of technical expertise.
