Re: [Harp-L] Chromatic and Diatonic

[joe leone <3n037@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't differentiate between the 2 small harps. And I don't much  
cotton to those who do. I actually enjoy using as many as 3 diatonics  
and a chromatic....on the same TUNE. Sometimes even throwing in a  
clarinet or trumpet. I think the division starts at about age 64.  
Players over 64 tend to differentiate. I happen to be pushing 68  
pretty hard, but you can't take me as an example. My father liked Cab  
Calloway, Fats Waller, Meade Lux Lewis. My mother liked Guy Lombardo,  
Duke Ellington. Me? I like everything from 1882 till the present.  
Exceptions: polkas, tarantellas, rap.
