You are so sweet to say that, Brigid.
It helps to have great material to draw from, for sure.

So glad the music touched you. Perhaps it has inspired a photo shoot theme?
peace

Why thank you, Donna.

I never thought about it from the perspective of the well manicured woman! HA!
I think I must allow a little magic to ‘get me’ sometime…hmmmm.

The short answer to your cg’er nail question is no. No need to worry about nails, otherwise no female harpers would play at all. You know enough about music that you would have no trouble at all finding your way around a lever harp. On the pedal harp the learning curve is way high. But beware! Once you start down the path of Celtic Harp, the magic will get you! Thanks for the Celtic post. Yes, by all means keep me in the loop with your Celtic piece progress!

David:
I knew you’d ‘get it’. I’m glad the post/music resonated within your soul.
I think there’s something universally stirring in Celtic music. It touches deep in one’s spirit regardless of an individual’s background.
About that Celtic Harp…I’m looking into branching out as, like yourself, this musician needs to still make music even as she gets older and becomes not as nimble on her primary instrument (not yet, just sayin’…) So, does it affect a cgers nails in any way? Mine aren’t that long, just shaped in a special way. (I think back in the Lute-list days, we had this discussion)
When time frees up a bit on my end, I’ll be sending you more info regarding this Celtic piece-progress if you don’t mind.
Keep on pluckin’!
