ParticipantAhhh, I see! That explains a lot- I had no idea you did this too. It’s also nice to connect a face with a personality

I’m sure I will enjoy playing those arrangements- I sure

ParticipantThank you, Rachel! I was thinking about getting the Dawning of the Day book, in fact I even have it marked on my wish list at Melody’s. I’ll check into the Kim Robertson arrangements, but I may not be up to that performance level yet. Something to look forward to though
I don’t care too much for the faster tunes,Karen Johns

ParticipantMe too, Sylvia! I typed my name and “harpist”

ParticipantHmmmm…now I wish I would have waited before I got my Crate Taxi. How much did the Roland cost you?
Karen Johns
ParticipantMe too Briggs. I truly like you as a person, and I get frustrated by how things are so easily misunderstood when using such a medium as this. I much prefer face-to-face. BTW, my offer of lunch still stands. I believe I gave you my phone # in a former email. Call me anytime

ParticipantThanks Tony!
I actually have the Scottish book and the Irish Book, but not the dance tunes.

ParticipantOMG-LOL!

ParticipantWell, OK then, I revoke my apology. It appeared by your post that I had offended you, as you were awfully quick on the draw and pointed out it was your harp that had the Camacs on it. And by this post it also seems you are on the defense. I was only trying to be polite- a mistake I shall not soon repeat!

ParticipantWell, I did get to see Camac levers up close and personal and I find them rather big and bulky. I’m sure they worked just fine, a lot of

ParticipantOh My! Did you get a picture? My husband rides and would really appreciate seeing something like that! LOL
Happy Halloween Everyone!

ParticipantIf you have chord notations, lower case “m” is minor, and upper case “M” is major (or it will be a stand alone, like “C”). For instance Am = A minor, and C = C Major. A really good source for chord notations is Sylvia Wood’s chord chart. It lists all of them.

ParticipantWell, if you haven’t seen them for five years since high school then I would expect they are not close friends. And I think if you send them a contract with your fee clearly laid out, there should be no misunderstanding. If you get the impression on the phone that they are hedging for a bargain because they knew you, you could use your husband as a scapegoat to back out of the deal (with his permission, of course!) But it really depends on how well you knew this friend back in high school and how much you value their friendship. Is it worth selling yourself short?
I think I would get a big ball of anxiety if anyone from my high school called me to play harp at their wedding. Those were some of the most awkward and insecure years of my life. To have people around that reminded me of that would definitely unglue me!
Good Luck~
