Here is the info off of a Blues Festival mailing:
CALLING ALL HARMONICA PLAYERS!!!
The world's largest harmonica contest and festival is October 21, 2012 in New Smyrna Beach. The Seventh Annual Florida Harmonica Championships will feature 20 contestants from all over Florida and a harmonica master class hosted by two time champion R. J. Harman. Everyone is invited to join the harmonica orchestra playing Suwanee River. RJ Harman, 21 year old harmonica phenom, 77 year old Willie 'the Real Deal" Green and Mike "The Great" Galloway will be our guest performers....backed by the Fabulous Payne Brothers band! Barbecue, Pizza and fresh shucked Oysters will be available as well as art and harmonica merchandise. Come to listen, Come to play, Come to party!
_____________________________________________________________
It sounded good to me up until the "backed by the Fabulous Payne Brothers".
and after all the feedback given after last year's event, Farley....

Tom,
Thanks for the invite. It's a bit of a day trip driving investment from Georgia.
A better blues band (Orlando's Bird Dog Bobby Band or Beautiful Bobby Blackmon, or even Doug Demming) would have "sealed the deal", but since I can't stand the Payne Brothers volume and lack of ability at backing up harmonica players, I will not be attending.
