Haven't heard the clips yet but signed up last Friday.  Like I said, 
even an hour and a half of instruction is better than bitching about it. 
  NOW I'm getting excited.

Someone tell me...most of the instructional material I've looked at 
assumes you're playing a harp in C.  However, Portnoy's CD series and 
Dermody ask you to use an A harp instead.  Why would this be?
