Maffet Harp during Irish sessions (27) RE: Harp during Irish sessions 08 Oct 03


from Jana to all: sorry that I was under diffrent names, I just settled my membership, sho now I have regular nickname :-)

McGrath: Well, there are few clearly irish pubs as "Molly's, O'Hara or Murphy's in city centrum which has at least regular one day with life music, few pubs which are partly irish and partly czech, where Life music is only from time to time accidentaly or during events. Oh! Czech pubs. You know czechs only drink and talk, there is not too much of life "czech" music in a czech pubs. Only if there is a some party or private group of friends ... it's the time when they take a guitar and sing all together some folk or traditional songs. I know which shop you mean. It's big store with 3 floors directly in centrum of city, but they have nothing related to harps. There is only one shop when they sell items for peddal harps but it's so expensive. You know people have no idea here that exists something like folk harp :-)
I am glad you enjoyed your stay and that you like our beer.

Helen: That's good idea, specialy for harp which was handmande. I had no idea, that they are able to do that diagram, which would be nice. At least I could have it for future, if some string would break, so I can replace it easily with correct string and dont search madly for supplement. I give it to my bookmarks.
Lolll! I know what you mean about "marching band" :-)))))) and playing solo. I went just only to watch session few months ago. It had to be small session in a pub for 5 or 8 people. They told me take your harp and play something during break. I did it (I took two beers for courage). Finaly, other musicians somehow told to others about session, and there was over 25 people there including few accordeons and back-pipes :-) If they played all together it was .... houuuuu! sound like symphonical orchestra .-) There were only musicians inside of pub... After two hours of jaming they turned to me and asked to play something quiet on harp. Trust me ... if I could dig through the all earth to China to escape, I would do that!!! I was shaking like barley in the wind! :-)

Thank you! Thank you! For the tune, I have Nothworthy. It's really good and easy thing so I will print tune and try to play. I will have tomorrow planty of time to practise as I have holidays (because of wedding of my friends) so I will not be on internet to Monday :-)
I would like to repay you somehow. But I am not sure in writing music as I have started to learn reading music in the same time I recieved my harp and I discovered that I am able to do simple arrangements just month ago. I carry them all only in my head :-O. But learning fast :-)
