Re: [Harp-L] "Gussing"

Yes but Vern that retirement ( elderly ) center gig is really ....for those old children !
I'm not sure that is the same venue....
I've been there with older family members and it's so important for them to be involved,
Helps with mood and memory work....bless you for doing it Vern.

Frankly although I'm a " Hobby Hack Harp " player that has never been paid to play...
Quite frankly I can't see how anyone could expect to be " welcome " to GUS
 professional players that are doing their best to deliver for the crowd.

I'm surprised this conversation continues as long as it has.

 JMHO.....M
