[Harp-L] Re: Self Image......

[Michael Easton <diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That book helped me a great deal about 10 years ago.

Learned most of all to think about being an expressive player rather  
then trying to
crawl into the skin of a mentor and  mimic them on stage.

I may occasionally sound like other players, but it's what I'm feeling  
on stage at that moment rather then being
a carbon copy of what they put on a recording.  I don't mind if I only  
sound like me.
