RE: [Harp-L] re: Zen Harmonica



playing the harp live is one of the most fun, and expressive things you can do.....
once you do the work and are comfortable with your playing, as well as those in the band....
once ur used to singing,,, that can be fun too, and don't necessarily have to worry about
being self-conscious because you are busy...
but the in between stuff,, is just something to get used to and handle your own way.
.. watch what other harp players and singer/entertainers do, and think about it as
if it were you... just as you have to "find your own voice" when you learn to sing,, the bottom line
is to do your own thing when others are playing, pay attention to what they are doing,,, but
as long as you are comfortable and authentic, just standin there or doin a little jig, the truth comes though...Especially once you stop worryin about how you look.

Absolutely. And if you want, you can dance.
