As Mr. Hand said "I LIKE that" I'm going to leave that up on the board for ALL my classes.


  the eight zillion
notes per second stuff.  it's interesting that he can do that,
but it just doesn't speak to me.

Amen

note that this is hardly unique to harp. there are a number of guitar
players out there that are tremendously talented, and i sometimes feel like
i ought to like their music (given related things i like), but it just doesn't
do it for me. so be it.

Yeah, it's like I was saying last week, if one uses up all the notes (too quickly), it doesn't leave any room for savoring the flavor. Good one Garry. smo-joe
