Found it, Wireharp. Recordings 3...

Good playing. Everybody here who's interested in harp should check out Wireharp's site, especially Recordings 3.

It's nice to hear from somebody who likes early music. Recently I played recorders in a concert by six harps. Their leader likes me to add interest without seeming to take over.

It's dangerously easy to make it seem as if this is a recorder playing with a harp back-up band.

In Western culture there is a thriving tradition which I call 'stick in a woman and make it her fault.' We see it in literature and movies, where the cast is all men save for one bad woman, who makes everything go wrong. From Eve to Pandora to Nurse Ratched, it's a long, sad list.

Apparently the idea that Elizabeth I killed the harp in Ireland is just another example of this. Elizabeth didn't kill the harp. Poverty killed the harp.

PS 'ub' was supposed to be 'pub'.

So HE got to see ideas from both, but he wasn't offering anybody else the chance to. Neither forum had a monopoly on interesting ideas, and most people who took the time to post on either would have liked to see the full range of opinions prompted by the question.

It's self-centred, exploitative behaviour, treating people as if they are nothing more than pages from an encyclopaedia.
1. it is not anyones responsibilty to provide links,The provision of links is an added extra,and should not be taken for granted
2.what happens on another forum is not relevant to this forum.
3.you might take a less negative perspective,Ihave given everyone here an oppotrtunity to contribute by starting the thread.Likewise those people that dont visit this forum have had an oppotrubity to discuss it elsewhere.
4.If I hadnt started this thread no one would have had a chance to discuss it here likewise on the session,Jack you should be thanking me, not railing at me,this is a classic half empty or half full situation
