Just Because....

Just because we don't have any more gatherings planned over the winter don't hang up that harp over the holidays! Brush up on some carols, hymns or other holiday music for your family and friends to enjoy. Think they are tired of hearing you? I guarantee the folks at the local long-term care facilities would love a new face and new sound with their old favorites!

A few of us in the Houlton area went to one such facility today and played music we had done with the folks at the last harp circle here. They loved having us and it was a lot of fun for us as well as them.

So, just because - it brings a smile to someones face, piques an interest, gets you out of the house with your harp, gives you a reason to practice, brings a smile to YOUR face -

Harp On!

Hi everyone!

About Northern Harpsong:

How does one become a member? Joining this site is FREE! However, the annual membership fee to join the chapter itself is $10.00 a year. We have purposely kept the fee as small as we could.

We're nearly done with my CD project. Most of the music on the CD can be played on a lever harp and it's a collection of favorites of mine. I love to play music that makes people stop talking at parties and ask "What was that? It's soooo beautiful". There's also music that my family loves, all of it soothing and gently cheerful.

Hi, Was so glad I could stop by to say hello! Andy is so busy traveling all over the State, and sometimes I feel I have to keep him company on the road. Will be going (the 14th) to my 50th Class Reunion in Philadelphia. God Bless you all and keep "plucking". Rita
