This is PRECISELY what we need to be doing if we want to restore the harmonica to its former glory. This is how they popularized it in the 1920s. We gotta get the instrument out there in the public. I applaud your efforts.

hey y'all,

This year's Brooklyn Folk Festival is this coming weekend and along with an
amazing line up of music (including my band The Whistling Wolves) it will
feature a harmonica competition . . .cool!

I've been asked to be a judge and it looks like a fine time will be had. It
is scheduled to take place at 4:15pm on Saturday and here are the details.
Sign up by emailing the festival organizers at the web site, and please
stop be and say hi. If you have any questions shoot me an email.

$50 gift certificate to the Jalopy Tavern.  2nd place gets a certificate

The contest will be decided by an authoritative judge who is also taking
