Re: [Harp-L] Significant others and harp

[Barbara Butler <bsvb@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Guess I am one of the fortunate ones.  My husband sometimes even asks  
me to play, Other times he whistles along ( he has a perfect pitch,  
spot on whistle). Sort of a cool duet.  However, at home I don't use an  
amp and I mainly play Irish, Scottish, Old-Time and gospel, so that may  
make a difference.  Also, If I am working on a new tune and playing  
bits over and over, I do it when he is out or I shut myself in a room  
and use earphones so he can listen to his music ( classical and old  
rock).I also make sure to spend time with him (outside activities,  
sports , ETC! ( the etc. is REALLY big).  We have been married 36 years  
(tomorrow) and I have been involved with music (different instruments)  
the whole time so we have had a while to work things out.  We do OK  
most times.  Steve, I keep my harps in the dining room.
