Nicely stated and spot on Dennis!

I heard the performance on Youtube and I have personally worked with Cyndi 
in the Studio.

She knows EXACTLY what she wants and TELLS  you where she would like you to 
play or interplay with her.

Charlie has done MANY sessions and gigs and was playing THAT gig as directed 
and did a STELLAR job IMO.

Bravo to Charlie for doin' what he does on national TV....it's exactly what 
the crapola reality needed, SOME REAL HARP!,-)

all the best,
Rob Paparozzi

Regarding the comment of Charlie playing over (or through) Cindi's singing 
(I didn't listen to it all myself). One has no idea what was asked of 
Charlie. I was asked to record on a pro singers album a couple of years ago. 
I just showed up at Avatar Studios in Manhattan and she said: "pretend 
you're singing with me and just play throughout the entire song As I'm 
singing" and I just played nonstop through (not obnoxiously but 
nevertheless). I also play with a lot of singers in a presentation by 
Ashford and Simpson and there are variations in what they want from a harp 
player. In my own band I love to shimmer in and around my singers 
vocalizations and she loves this too. Well there was that one black eye! d
