[Harp-L] Re: Butter...tone....

[Ev630 <eviltweed@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom - many thanks for that. So what I get from your earlier post and the
clarification is that no one has played with that emotion before or since?

Is it at all possible for you (or anyone else in the discussion) to identify
one, two or at most three tunes that embody the level of emotion your are
indicating distinguishes Butterfield from other harp players? I'd prefer
agreement/consensus on one or two, so I can limit my own responses.

It's nearly Xmas and my wife will kill me if I pore over harp-l too much
longer! ;)

Thanks
Drew
