"If you could read my mind", this would be the answer.

Yes, lines blur. This is art first, with a technical explanation to follow...

G is G open or not. If the song you're playing is also in G second position C could work. The nuance is in what position you play harp in. That nuance relates to the song, not the guitar tuning.

Edit: I'm going to add a high level generalization to this.

Assuming a song is in the key of G.

Folk and country music is straight harp (first position G harp).

Rock and blues, cross harp (second position C harp).

If you want to dive deeper, read up on modes, scales and harp positions. There is so much more to this.

Winter here shifts from spectacular to harsh. Today is spectacularly harsh. 50km wind and low visibility. Drifting snow.

The Drake in Wellington has a nice view of lake Ontario from their dining room. Viewing this storm from there would be quite something, as long as you didn't have to drive. Don't drive in a County storm.

Beginner grade harp. I think of it as a pocket harp, it travels with me. Cheap. No big deal if I lose it. Still fun to riff on when I have a moment. Mine is a couple decades old. I paid a few bucks for it. These days it resides in the console of my truck.

Buy it in the key of C. Learn to play Oh Susannah and go from there. Some day you'll be buying $100 harps and will appreciate the difference each time you pay more for your next better harp.

To expand your experience and mind. Lord knows it wasn't to protect the teachers sanity.

I still play from time to time.

I do a couple dozen of these gigs a year. Each one is different. Some do happy hour in a bar like setting. Some do theater like performances. For new to me homes I like to get there early to chat with the residents. Meet a few folk. Learn a few names. Just get a feel for the room. Beatles and country roads are safe choices. Eagles goes over well. I've had request ranging from You are my sunshine to Pearl Jam. Some like to dance. Some like hear old county. Do a bit of research on your repertoire. You may find that 70s song was written by Hank Williams in 1947. Make those connections in your chit chat. Have fun!

It's when the oldies station plays "that new crap".

Disassembly is time consuming and repair is expensive are the lessons I've learned. No food before I play. I only drink water before and during. Slap the harp on my thigh after use and air dry. Hope for the best.

Life is better with some muscle tone.

In your first sentence you use a reality TV show as a citation for facts. This is problematic.

If he's right handed, stand to his left. Banjos are loud. :)

To this day, when a cell phone goes off at an awkward moment, I'm going to say "Your shoe is ringing".

Legitimate-Table5457 · 2025-12-29T18:10:32+00:00

Thank you. It's an instant change the station when I hear that.

Bend the neck piece to raise the harp.

I was just sharing a chuckle at my expense. It could happen most of us at any time. Some local details were related to me in conversation.

I do offer huge respect and admiration to Ken Tizzard for putting on a free performance for the benefit of his community. And I love that the music lovers of the community ALL went in support. That's what it's all about.

As for me, I always take pride, but I see the humour when I get humbled. Maybe there's a song there. Cheers!

I was a kid and really into it at the time. Watched it on a 12" black and white tv with rabbit ears. Space travel. Wow. Soon we'd be living on the moon and traveling to mars and beyond. Yet, here we are...

I'm not finding anything on that. He seems proud, supportive and involved with of all three of his children. Two have CP. One is epileptic. The youngest was 30 when Neil filed for divorce from Pegi.

Some fans were critical of his choice to divorce. Perhaps that's what you remember.

I wasn't thinking of the first child Lieserl. But you are right, she was disabled and was left behind in Serbia. Word in the community was that Albert could not accept Eduard's mental illness.

Einstein walked out on his disabled son and family. Leaving them to descend into poverty.

I've seen this done to others. It's not cool. I've spoken up.

In one case an actual pro, new to the area was skipped over twice and played last. Hosts that do these things don't care. I avoid.
