Bonnie, you have written something I am gonna save. As a btw, I finally met a for-real in-person harp player. Irish background gal. Had the opportunity to ask some things that had always puzzled me about harps and I now understand why you think they make such a beautiful sound. I was blown away by the skill she exhibited and the verve with which she carried it off. Beautiful.

I personally think there's a place for that instrument in rock n roll. I think the 'tension' that could be created by the genres is worth looking at.

In a pique of morbid despair I started this thread. Years ago I felt a kind of dread that we--all of us--were going to lose our music. The radios and tv's' were horrible, and I quit music completely--mostly to hide away from what I felt. I'm not proud of that, 'cause my mama didn't raise no quitters'.

Lately, I see there is hope and promise--lots of it--thanks to you folks.

This is definitely a Kodak moment for me.

Thank you all so much.
