ParticipantLOL soooooooooooooo funny
But… Its nearly impossible to stop the blind from damaging the harp because NOBODY can see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! unless you some sightI Was playing at a concert & at the end of the concert all of the musicians got together to finish the concert & while I was playing my harp like a drum somebody decieded to join in & used his ring on my harps soundboard
