Forgot to mention that this song is in the key of A, and the harp sounds
like cross position D.  Previous posts on Portnoy's technique circa
July-Sept indicate he could have been puckering, fwiw.  Don't hear any of
the tongue-slap artifacts preceding the notes (as I type here). Don't hear
any octaves.  Just some wankin' notes -- nice, understated, but not my fave
on the CD, fwiw.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
