RE: [Harp-L] Head Shakes

["Robert Gaustad" <robertgaustad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was playing today and while doing some trills, and shaking my head a bit,
I happened to look into a mirror and saw what I was doing.  It didn't look
idiotic...well, maybe I looked idiotic but my head shake didn't.  I tend to
stay fairly still when I play and often bend over a bit.  I also often play
with my eyes closed.  So, hey, if somebody thinks I look like an idiot,
well, I can't see if from my house.

If it was good enough for Walter Horton then it's good enough for me.
I wouldn't mind looking  like an idiot  with the huge tone that he had.
