Finalist 1 (Bobby Nichols)
A Flatpick-L list member wrote me to say Bobby didn't have any plans to compete until he was convinced to enter by some BABA members just moments before the start of the competition.  He had no idea what tunes he was going to play until the stage hand was done adjusting his microphone during the first round!
