[Harp-L] Re: play hard/ have fun

[dennis moriarty <dmoriarty@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually (and my talent is profoundly impoverished relative to Jason  
R) Brad Harrison has been building harps for me in acceptance of my  
hard playing. Far be it from me to argue with Olympians (hyperbole,  
not sarcasm) as I don't disagree with them about a lighter touch and  
longevity. I just can't help it: when I'm active musically on an  
emotional plane I play hard. I've been looking for a customizer to  
accept that and work with me for a while. In many ways it's some of  
the people I've been playing with: Loud. and in many ways it's because  
I picked it up on the streets of the Bronx: self taught-limited  
repertoire-but strong effusive notes. The biggest limitation of hard  
playing for me is reed paralysis-mid crescendo. So I'm working with a  
customizer(s) to decrease that probability. At least until I go back  
to harp school. d
