24. Lyre Is Easier To Move Around

Mon Nov 27, 2023, 07:16 AM

Nov 2023

But, harp is a fun instrument.
I learned how to play it as a kid at the piano shop where I took lessons.
Then, in high school I had a neighbor that had one. (More on that later*.) In college, I'd go to the music hall when I didn't have time to drive home & back to play piano, but messed around on harp several times.
* - Musical family. Dad was baritone horn player for the Lyric Opera orchestra, mom was a classical pianist, the son became a violinist with CSO, & the daughter was a harpist who, at least at one point, played with the orchestra in Dallas. Super musical family.
