[Harp-L] Help!

["sam blancato" <samblancato@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm with Anthony and Bill on this all that way and no 50% either.  If you
can't do the basics - know when to play and not to play, how to do fills and
have some basic chops - then stay off the stage.  The idea that you have to
play out in front of an audience or you'll never get the experience is too
simple a rationalization.  There's plenty you can do on your own to prepare
for playing live with other musicians.  And you'll be doing harp players
everywhere a favor.  Nothing can clear a room like a bad harp payer.
