Yep, things around here have gotten much too quiet. I am barely playing the harp at all and no one is posting, so I've decided to take this blog public again. So don't spill too much about yourself that you don't want anyone to know about.
This blog needs to be mainly about playing the harp, about keeping yourself going without a teacher, about supporting each other in that way. I belong to a book group on-line too, and sometimes we forget that the primary focus is to write about what we are reading, as well as about our pets, our real life ups and downs.
By taking the blog public again, I hope to attract a few more contributors and to help us all remember what we are here for!
I am looking forward, in early October, to going to the final Harper's Escape. I can't believe it will be the last one! I am going to miss the Escape but I must admit that I will not miss the drive. My private fantasy is that harpers like ourselves might think about organizing small weekend retreats, closer to home, sans teachers, each person bringing something to teach the others, but very laid back.
I think going public is a good idea! I also think the idea of small retreats is a wonderful fantasy that COULD become a wonderful reality!! I can't believe this will be the Harper's Escape finale- I keep meaning to get there, but life has not permitted it so far. Guess I have waited too long??!! I would love to help organize a small gathering in the VT NH area- let me know your thoughts!There are a few harpers in the area, mostly beginner/intermediate, and I have two spare rooms at home to put people in if needed. Do you have my email address? Phone number? Want either? Faster communication than this blog, I think! Let me know!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a good idea. I think staying in a B&B is a better idea, just more fun for everyone, preferably somewhere very accessible to lunch and dinner places. Fun to think about. Not sure I'm ready to take it further than that quite yet! Maybe in the spring.
ReplyDeleteI am also not ready to organize such a thing- let us get thru the holidays! My email is shadowharp@gmail.com, if you want to reach me faster than the blog! Happy Fall!
