Re: [Harp-L] Jackie

["Dave R. Fertig" <drfertig@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey David!  I think it's a great piece of work, man, obviously you have put 
some work into it, but it doesn't seem too effort-laden.  It seems instead 
that you love the melody and the instrument, and it comes across very 
nicely, man.   The only criticism I would have is the almost inevitable 
loss of tonal sweetness when reaching for some of the notes, esp a couple 
bends, but man I am really  jazzed, Jazmaan!
