Some really Hare-y Harping!

Here is a hare for shadow harp!  I've been playing a bit of harp here and there, but not enough.  That pretty much sums up March!!

March Hariness!

March- in all its glory, coming in with the sound and fury of roaring lions and falling trees, interspersed with crazy warm temps, confusing flora and fauna alike!  Hard to know if I have Spring fever, or need to hibernate!

Pulled myself together to participate in February's Open Door, run by Pam and JP. A special night as it featured women as the acts. I picked 3 songs named for women, to go along with the theme: Eleanor Plunkett, Eiley Gheal, and I am drawing a complete blank on the new tune I played in the middle!!  Good grief, I must be getting really old! Well, it WAS over a month ago!

Will be playing in church this Sunday, as I have no choir to sing this week- so that will be good.  Haven't done a service in awhile with the harp. Totally different experience for me than being on stage.  Even if I am doing a solo, it doesn't have that same stress as being in the spotlight.  Not sure why!  Mostly brushing up on old stuff I haven't played in awhile.  Good for the gray cells, and it is always a boost to find I can remember more than I thought!  Muscle memory is so important!  And I cannot stress enough how beneficial getting off the page, and having tunes memorized, really helps tone and confidence!  I am trying to concentrate a bit more on the theory of the harmonies I am playing in the left hand.  Theory was never my strong suit, and being dependent on the written notes in front of me made understanding the theory unnecessary. I saw it and played it!  Well, the harp is pushing me to expand my understanding.

Guess that is my harp related news for the moment.  Wish there was more participation happening on the blog!  Missing you Ladies!  Love, Sharon
