Perhaps I've missed mention of this, but in a couple of weeks in Syracuse, David "I Changed My Name From Klutz" Harp will be trying to set the world's record for the most harmonica players playing one song together.
If that's not wild enough, perhaps this is wilder: there is ALREADY such a record.
All this is happening at the New York State Blues Festival. (Actually a corporate sponsor's name is involved, but screw them). See http://members.aol.com/NYSBF/page8.html

PS - David actually changed his name from Feldman. But every one of his books includes a mention of the fact that he feels the Musically Hopeless books were stolen from his idea, so I couldn't resist. Nothing against David; I like his books a bit more than the other guys'.
"There was a time when time was of no value to a person who thought he had something to say; when it was the custom to spread a two-minute remark out to ten; when a man's mouth was a rolling-mill, and busied itself all day long in turning four-foot pigs of thought into thirty-foot bars of conversational railroad iron by attenuation; when subjects were seldom faithfully stuck to, but the talk wandered all around and arrived nowhere; when conversations consisted mainly of irrelevancies, with here and there a relevancy, a relevancy with an embarrassed look, as not being able to explain how it got there."
-- Mark Twain
