Upside-down Mishap (was Mark your harp)

["Goeller, Charles" <GOELLER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Last summer I landed a role in a local staging of the rock opera "Tommy" playing the Hawker (a pimp). In the last dress rehearsal I did it. Picked the harp upside down without checking and instead of sounding a run up, it went downnnn. Totally throw me off for the rest of the scene where I found myself tripping over the acid queen dancers and forgetting my lines. This totally freaked me out worrying about doing it at the opening. That's when I came up with the tape trick.  I used the orange key label from an old LO box and put it on the top of my SP20, right where my index finger rests. If I didn't feel it, I knew to flip the harp. After 15 shows not one unexpected shrill. Charlie G.
