So I DID miss another anthem solo on harp!!!

Yeah, Alec... rub it in!!

Great to know he used harp instead, tho'... maybe a subtle hype for a more 
harp-heavy CD in that new recording coming out?  Let's hope so!

Thanks, BTW, for the follow-up link to the DFP article, Gail!

Guess I'll just have to catch the next harmonica anthem performance.  Would
