a family of harpers
the 2 youngest sons, and the granddaughter came for last weekend. the harp was a huge hit, with the older fellow in particular. after i'd shown them how to play it, he couldn't seem to walk past it without stopping to try something out. by the end of the weekend he'd mastered several of the tunes he plays on his fiddle. not the sort of thing i thought would appeal to teenage boys. and he was dropping rather strong hints about how much he REALLY liked it.
i think i have a few tunes ready to try with the Irish band next time we practice.

Hi,
Oh, that's nice and maybe he'll buy his own.
I wish I could go hear you play.

That's pretty cool that the older young lad is showing interest in a harp. I wonder what other surprises he's going to come out with as he grows up? And yes, with that new job of his, maybe he'll buy his own. ;-)
Glad you had a good weekend.
Still waiting to hear you one of these days.
The harp was a good investment. Who knows it may result in a life long passion for your older son currently showing a keen interest.
Best wishes
wow, picking up an instrument so quickly! perhaps he'll play for you as you eat your strawberries!
