Once again, I stayed up way too late, but it was fun! I started playing my harp around 10, & played until about 1:30, just savoring a mix of pieces I hadn’t played for awhile: A harp sonata, some debussy, & a few other things, plus reading through some pieces that I’ve had here for awhile, but haven’t learned yet. I think it’s important to be able to demonstrate pieces for your students, especially for the more advanced ones, & to at least familiarize myself with the ones I don’t play. Most harpists send their students to Youtube or audio recordings to become familiar with these pieces, & I use that tool also, because the truth is, unless you’re planning on putting a concert, it’s a lot of work to maintain every advanced piece you’ve ever played! Most of my gigs these days tend towards jazz, but I still love every piece I’ve ever known, & I play a lot of them as wedding preludes, but some of them are kind of way out there, so it’s good once in awhile to play through them, ironing out the rough spots. Plus, I just love playing the harp anyway, & there are so many amazing pieces to play. It’s always a treat just to play for myself, with no audience, except the universe.
Not much new to say about this tea. It really is tasty, & I enjoyed it, but that was hours ago!

WOW! Thanks Pyarkaaloo!!
Stephanie, I have 1 video, which I recorded with my laptop & my iphone, hahaha. It took me weeks to finally post it, because I had to figure out how to cut from one view to the other :)
It’s a song I wrote called “Journey to Serenity”, & you can view it on the front page of my cob-web site www.harpsinger.net
There are also sound files from each of my CDs on the ‘my CDs’ page, if you want to hear them.
I really need to get my act together, update my website, add a bunch more videos, etc. I keep planning on it, but every day goes by, just like that! I even have a blog, but haven’t posted on it for a year…lol
