I don’t mind at all Kay. She posted as a man, with a female harp teacher, because she was a widowed senior citizen, and was concerned about her privacy. (Her first teacher was actually a man.)

What a wonderful way to start out my Sunday morning. Thank you and Merry Christmas to your family. And I do understand….my babies are now 19 and 20 years old. Beautiful memories like this sustain our belief in magic.

The conference was amazing! Don’t get me started! Frank Voltz was hysterically funny in a class on composing. It was the most fun of the classes I took. Rhett Barnwell played at one of the night concerts and took your breath away he was so great. I had a class with Jan Jennings on chords, and actually learned the most
Try Frank Voltz and Greg Buchanan, both known for jazz and Christian music. Best of luck in your research.
I also enjoyed this book. The author, Linda Pembroke Kaiser, spent more than 20 years in her research which included trips to study the documents, the research and recording of
I believe Eleanor Fell at Vanderbilt Music provides a service where she personally selects a harp for you at Lyon and Healy. I do not know the specifics. You could always e-mail her at Vanderbilt for details. Good Luck in your search.
