Well, Will...Tony Eyers isn't exactly 'chopped liver'...and I rather think  
knows quite a thing or two about: "practises and practises and practises 
and  practises and practises and practises and practises and, er, practises"   
haha...(I'm gathering you wrote this a wee  bit tongue-in-cheek?)
 
Not to take ANYthing at all away from Brendan of course. He's an absolutely 
 brilliant player (which Tony is clearly acknowledging). :)  Those of  us 
who've gotten to see and hear Brendan play in person at SPAH especially - not 
 only onstage but off, feel distinctly privileged. As well, though - Tony 
Eyers  has been  a guest of SPAH and I even got to hear him during the  
Donald Black appearance of a few years ago. It's all great, and  all terrific 
harmonica.  Tony spends time in Asia as far as I know?  and created an online 
Harmonica Academy - while Brendan seems to have an  affinity for us here in 
the US (lucky us!) :)
 
Anyone who hasn't yet had a chance to check out Brendan's 'Lorraine's  
Dream' on YouTube or his beatboxing video from last SPAH with LDMiller - also on 
 YouTube, might want to do a quick search -  _www.youtube.com_ 
(http://www.youtube.com)  - then look for his name. They  show his unbelievable range 
(and are two of my particular favourites).

I'm a huge Brendan Power fan if you can't tell by now. ;)

What about the part of the job of being a top-drawer player where one (I  
assume) practises and practises and practises and practises and practises and 
 practises and practises and, er, practises?

Brendan. Let me get this  straight. You get to travel the world, meet and 
hang out with the best harmonica  players imaginable, play at their gigs and 
no doubt enjoy great hospitality all  the way.

You call this a job...

Sounds like a permanent vacation.  Good for you!
