Yes. Very tongue-in-cheek. Although (as I'm discovering) I seem to have a bee in my bonnet today about deservedly successful harmonica players not getting enough recognition for their sheer hard work (as well as their talent) and it seems to be buzzing out in places where it might not be entirely relevant. My apologies.

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 - 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!
