    Hey Saul,

    I agree skits can be a hoot.

    Hearing Christa and her trio was yet another treat the conference had to offer.

    I thought the conference in Tacoma was very well done.

    Tarnish resistant strings are good strings.

    The first question I have is “why were you and your harp out in 55 degree weather in the first place?!” I couldn’t even think of playing anything that required any technique at that temperature. As for your harp, I have always heard that right around 50 degrees is when bad things can happen. For the time being the damage is probably only cosmetic (keep and eye on it), I would recommend a clause in your contract with temperature limits. My personal low limit is 65 degrees.

    And when I say “taps” as the groom entered I mean play “Taps” as the groom entered….;-)

    Once a young bride asked me to “taps” as the groom entered. Of course she wanted an arpeggiated “harpy” version. I eventually got tired of her tacky sense of humor and suggested that she would be happier with another musician.

    You should also order a set of the “new” style pedal couplings for your current rods.

    If I were going to retire tomorrow I would have my worldly belongings packed up and moved to my new home on the island of Kawai’i in Hawaii. It is truly paradise! I look forward to the day when I can stick my harp in the sand and play on the beautiful Na’ Pali coast. Truly one of the most beautiful locations in the world.
