very interesting point. I was looking for speedy harp players, but the
whole bluegrass style demands such an hability to play fast... so
sometimes does irish music players, as you said.

I´ll research a little bit these names. If you don´t mind, I would ask
you to send me some samples of yours playing fast (off-list of course)
and I would like to make you some questions (off list too). If you
don´t mind, of course.

Thanks
