Re: [Harp-L] Sitting In

["Blake Taylor" <taylorb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I always wondered about those numbers.  Does anyone have a formula to
work out what percentage as good you are compared to another harper? I
imagine you could make some money off of it if you did - since musicians
- especially harpers - are notoriously competitive / comparative....
what is the old joke?  How many harp players does it take to fix a
lightbulb?  (some large number) One to change the bulb, and the rest to
stand around saying, "I'm better than him." :)

  An "established" group would probably want to know the person sitting 
in. They would probably prefer that the sitter was at least 78% as good 
as THEIR harpie, but NOT MORE THAN  89% as good.
