In the basement tonight putting down some harp tracks on the blues tune I’m finishing up. Harp is a key of B Hohner Special 20. Using the Apex 327 dynamic harp mic. Got it years ago on sale for 1/3 the price of a Shure 520DX Green Bullet. So far, it’s been pretty good. Running a few takes through the MXR Timmy overdrive. Doing a few clean ones too. Getting some good tracks. See what I’ve got tomorrow and maybe do some comping. #blues #gearsquad #music #recording #songwriting #harp #harmonica
Pro tip. Don't whack the wooden parts of a harp against an ankle.
Doesn't really help while playing but it's cute.
Eyes are sore and itch, and I can't really focus on Angharad's (my harp) strings, but I will play her, to hear her sing.
The sound is so amazing.
Holy moly. If all my harp practices would go as well as the one just now, I’d change profession and become a musician. This morning was amazing. Even “Fairy Tale” went pretty well!
I just played my harp again. Her name is Angharad, for those who don't know. (No worries, I'll keep reminding you ad nauseum.)
I love her sound, her singing.
ARGH. I keep getting mails about the new Brandee Younger album!
Why do I have to wait until June??
I’m attending; join me on Tuesday! It’s pay what you can. Online Irish Harp Workshop

This Zoom workshop is part of Marta’s new series, Harp Beryls, which focuses on ornamentation in Irish traditional music.
- class is all about the jig The Rolling Wave (the version listed in O’Neill’s as The Humours of Trim). #harp #music #workshop #IrishMusic
Just practiced "Both Sides Now" again, on harp. It's probably my autistic and/or neurodivergent side acting up but I can't play it as it is on sheet music. Notes are missing, bits are "wrong". I constantly play it as it should be.
I love playing my harp.
30 minutes ago I sat down to play for about 10 minutes.
Tempus fugit in the best way.
Eigenlijk te moe van de drukke week om nog iets te doen. Ga toch bij Angharad zitten. (Angharad is mijn harp), en begin wat te doedelen.
Toen "Gröne Lunden" gespeeld (zweeds folklied), "Caledonia" (schots nummer van Dougie McLean), "Greensleeves", nog wat gedoedel, en toen speelde ik zomaar "Sunshine" van John Denver (met fouten), dat ik nog nooit eerder heb gespeeld...
