Re: [Harp-L] The World Champion of Classical Harmonica...



Good point. I recently experienced a blues competition, where one of the judges brought a friend to advise her, as she wasn't familiar with the blues. But she wrote for a magazine. Go figure. I usually avoid competitions, lik the plague.

Apparently, people show up at a competition. The winner isn't necessarily the best in the world. It's just that THEY happened to show up and were the best that day. It is possible for the best in the world to have NOT shown up OR didn't know about it OR wasn't interested. Example: the competition in Trossingen Germany (where I believe this was held) has competitions every 2 years. My problem is that I have seen times in the past where the judges didn't impress me. I have seen occasions where the judges were not as good as the contestants. Such is the situation with judges and why I would never engage in such a contest....................... Not that I ever could..here's where you laugh.
