[Harp-L] SPAH San Antonio

[Tin Lizzie]

Jazmaan!  I'm so sorry to hear that you are a victim of the Palisades Fire, and so glad to hear that you are safe!

That is some tasty playing.  Thank you for sharing the link.

I think I have outgrown the belief that if I just get the right harp in the right tuning, I will suddenly become an amazing player.  That said, I'm delighted to learn that there is a Barry Harris tuning.  Very cool!

For those who might not know about him, I found a series of videos a couple of years ago that goes deeply into Barry Harris's teachings, and it's fascinating.  Here's a link to the first installment.  There is some very cool stuff going on, there.  The presenter is a guitar player, but there's a lot there that could be translated to harp.
