Barbara and Lisa….thank you for this info. I will get the Angi Bemis book!! I have Angi’s Book #2, and I love her arrangements! Two I like pieces so well in her 2nd book are: Legands of the Fall and Homeward Bound.
Onward!
Rod C.I use a long, narrow rug (I think it’s intended for hall ways–it’s about 5-6 ft long). I use it to protect the hardwood floors. The rug is long enough that it accommodates both the harp and my bench. Rod C.
Hi Kathy:
Interesting. I don’t think I’ve seen that question posted before: was/is your mother a harpist.
Hi Kay:
Thanks for the reminder!! I am like you–how many times do I need to hear this before it sinks in?
I like Carl’s approach, too.

Kay:
Can you believe how time flies? It seems like last week you were getting your pedal harp!

Hi Tim:
Your question is still a good one. I think a number of questions/comments get repeated on this message board over time. But, a lot of new readers come along…so the thread will be new to them.
It was nice of Sylvia to post the link to the previous posts on this topic. If you’re like me…..you’ll
HI Kay:
I’m glad you posted this question…what a wonderful group of responses from some very knowledgeable and talented harpists. The collective widsom on this message board is terrific.
Onward!

Elizabeth:
What a fascinating question. (I don’t think I’ve seen this question posted here before.) By the way…David Ice’s answer gave me goose bumps. Nice work, David.
I think the nicest compliments I have received have been when people have cried. Music has to be moving and powerful to bring people to tears. It makes me even more aware of what beautiful music we can make with this instrument that we harpists love so much.
Cheers,
Rod C.
