Crikey! If I was having a cardiac checkup and I heard a harp, I'd start looking around for "Pearly Gates this way" signs....
ReplyDeleteShe look very professional, the sound of harp is not very known in a popular way, but is powerful and sweet, did you hear to this two magnificent players Andreas Vollenweider or Roberto Perera?
ReplyDeleteThe harp is so relaxing and not often can musicians be found that play the instrument. That must be a welcome treat for visitors to the hospital; hope all is well with you and DH.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of the harp and when I go to the Dallas Symphony I always find myself watching the harp player. She can be very dramatic.
ReplyDeleteThat has to be a very soothing sound!
ReplyDeleteThe harp is definitely soothing! Sometimes I listen to harp music when I can't sleep. :)
ReplyDeleteI often wonder how they carry those instruments around though. They don't look very portable!
How wonderful. I've always found the harp to be heart-warming and soothing!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate...re your comment on The Villages...
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how accurate such things are...but I'd guess there is a kernel of truth there. It was a fun, red sky at night and the weather has been perfect here ever since...so maybe it is true!
What a wonderful gift she gives. Harp music is such a peaceful sound.
ReplyDeleteJB is funny today... I love the soothing sounds of a harp. As a child I wanted to play the harp but it was expensive and not very "portable" so I opted for other instruments.
ReplyDeleteLovely portrait of this artist, my friend!

The sounds are soothing, however NOT fast or loud enough for me.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a very caring thing for her to do. I'll bet the sounds of a harp are indeed soothing in this environment.
ReplyDeleteHarp music is so soothing.
ReplyDeleteThe harp has got to be one of the most beautiful sounding instruments. I am always in awe of the musicians that can bring it to life.
