Thank you for your support Bob, but don't think I will make a CD. I  
don't feel that I am recordable quality. At least not any more. Maybe  
when I was younger. A look at my you tube stuff should convince  
everyone that while I can fake a decent performance, I have a long  
way to go. And maybe I have just run out of time.  :)

As to the tuning, I never really thought about it. I guess I assumed  
that people were coming up with stuff all the time and that I wasn't  
the first with this.
I mean, look at Brendan 'tower OF' Power, or Pat 'Ain't missed a  
trick, Missin, or Rick 'epic' Epping, and like that. Then there's  
spiral, Spanish, circular, diminished, demented, i.e.

SO I never went after any recognition or anything. In fact, I have  
never gone for recognition with anything I ever did. Besides, being  
harp related, I never tried to make harp something to hang my hat on.  
I just know that I liked it immensely, tried other instruments and  
always came back to harp. I think harp is the greatest. I think  
people who PLAY harp are the greatest. I'm tickled out of my shorts  
that harp people even let me BE in the same township with them.

My dream was always to go to a spah, and as everyone filed into the  
banquet, there at everyone's place setting was one of my CDs. Sure,  
there are some that would then use them as a 'target', but maybe  
there are some who might just give them a listen.  Aw well, only in  
dreams.
