RE: [Harp-L] Head Cutting

[Buck Worley <boogalloo@xxxxxxx>]

Sorry to hear that Head cutting is part of your church life. I would think that church would be a safe place for harp players and other players. Guitar players and piano players LEARN differently than us harp players (I think). That may be why they call "C#" as opposed to Db. Dont sweat it. Roll with the flow (my humble opinion). Also, I dont associate musician "Head Cutting" with anything other than music. I can see why in today's climate the ugly head cutting would come to people's minds. Sorry about that
