RE: [Harp-L] re: lurkers



Hello Fellow Harp-L members,

I will confess to having been a "lurker" for at least the past two years. I have corresponded
in response to a few emails, however for the most part am here to listen and learn.

I have received valuable information from this forum, and hope it is available for my
harp education for years to come.

There is no shame in lurking, I'm here to learn from the masters of the instrument, and those
with much more experience than I. As I gain in my harp skills and knowledge, I hope to move
out of my comfort zone and participate more freely in the give and take of this forum.

My thanks to those who actively share your knowledge through the Harp-L list. We often
never know, who's life we have impacted, for the better.


                                                                                                             Jim
