Hello harp ladies--sorry I've been absent! I've been full-time plus at work still and also just got back from visiting my mom in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida where I can sadly say there are no harps or irish music as far as the eye can see and the ear can hear. Except for perhaps some Plastic Paddy music scheduled in March. That being said, I *did* hear a man playing pennywhistle just off the beach and I think he was playing The Merry Blacksmith. I wanted to say something to him but he was gone when we went past the second time.
I know you are all so sick of snow but we've had a mild winter in the UK and today feels almost like spring. I really really wanted snow at least once this year but it doesn't look likely now.
I am very, very behind in both my harp and fiddle stuff and Irish Month is only days away so I've got to get playing.....I'll stop by here again later!
Ah - I'm in Florida now, but on the West Coast - how tantalizing though that you were only a few hours away!
ReplyDeleteSarasota is slightly better, music-wise - on Thursday I am actually going with my aunt to an Irish harp and singing concerty - I can't remember the name of the person, but I am certainly curious!
Glad you are home safely.
Glad you're home and comfy! I have missed your posts! :))
ReplyDeleteSo you are not experiencing the flooding I have been hearing about! That is good- send springy thoughts this way, please! You will get back in music groove quickly, I am sure!
ReplyDeleteLucy--let me know how the concert was and who it was!
ReplyDeletePamela and shadowharp--thank you! Yes we had loads and loads of rain before I went on vacation, but the real flooding was down south.
