I'm playing it next week at a baseball game, with no amplification.. I wonder 
how that will turn out. The game is a re-creation of old-time baseball and 
being held at the local historical center. Would a megaphone of some kind help 
much in this situation?
And, I too play in first position, but single notes all the way. I've been 
considering a little fancier finish,but probably not yet.

Still a fool for the Harp
