<<A child prodigy is, most of the time only 'amazing' while they are
young (although there are exceptions). The people who work hard over

What you’re saying about prodigies brings to mind Thomas Edison’s quote:
“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
“Texas is better off financially than is Arizona, so I can’t be precise about what other harpists in your area could charge for a long term gig in a restaurant, but in the bigger cities in Arizona (excluding Phoenix) the minimum is $50 per hour.
Is there any way you can get in touch with a professional harpist in your area to ask for advice?

Probably not!
BTW, the latest on this gig is that according to the resort staff, no one as of today has accepted their offer, so they are having their Thanksgiving buffet sans music.

Numbers 1 and 2 are terrific points, Carl.
The only thing I’d like to add is that the truth of a message, if it exists, is vastly more important than how it is delivered.
Hi Natalie,
My Dusty 36 performs better when it has been tuned at home and then at the venue, so you’re not alone!
