Art, why don't you lever alone and stop making jokes. Anyways, you ask the wrong question. Dick, maybe Celtic liver is better for making harps than other kinds of liver.

I can't give up the habit of making New Years resolutions. The secret is not to remember them by the time the next year rolls around, so you can make them over again.

It is interesting to hear about people's musical plans, though. For example, I knew Helen played the harp; but I somehow visualized her playing solos. I think they are good resolutions, Helen. Playing in a large group is fun; but I really think your technique slips if you do it exclusively. Orchestral musicians tell me they have to keep up their practice sessions even with all the rehearsals. And the Celtic harp is such a beautiful instrument on which to play solos. It has such delicate tone, and, like with the guitar and keyboard, you can play complete pieces.

Nansaidh, I only know one fiddle tune whose title mentions barnyard animals; but I'll admit that one gets overplayed some.
