I hadn't played the thing since my 5 year old was born, so I sold it to buy my bike.
Geez, wow! I drool over some of the smaller Celtic harps I've seen. I just try to stay realistic over all the stuff I want to do. I need to win the lottery (hard to do when I've never bought a ticket).
Where did you go to school?

My harp was a celtic-style harp with full levers. It was a Dusty Strings with 36 strings. I loved that thing, but it was wasting away in my closet. Now a really cool kid (a teenage boy, if you can believe it) is making beautiful music with it and I'm getting some exercise. Maybe I'll buy another harp someday. They are a lot of fun, and since you have a keyboard background, you will probably have a lot easier time learning it than I did. I played classical guitar as my main instrument (well, other than my voice as I was a voice major), and it was hard to get used to having both hands moving at the same time!!
I went to San Jose State. Many moons ago.

Do you know about these folks? We visited the shop a couple years ago when we were in MN for Xmas.
I gave my dad a bowed psaltery kit which is mostly done and Bill bought a dulcimer kit which he has never started. We're riding instead! Their harps had a beautiful sound. Something to do in your spare time.
Check out the cardboard kits for kids!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
