How many/what kind of harps do you have?: Dusty Strings FH36, Harpsicle

Harping History - or how I got started, what inspired me to play the harp?: I always heard about how my grandmother played harp at one time and I'd always been intrigued by the possibility. I just never thought it was something that i would be able to do. When attending a Heavenly Harpers Concert in December of 2006, I suddenly had the thought, "I want to do that, too. And I am going to." So with the loan of a harp, I got started the next month. Since then I have purchased my own harp and love every second of my harping life.

First Harp Circle for Northern Harpsong

Great pictures! Thanks Fred, for taking them and putting them on the site (Fred? Leigh?Both of you?) It was a lot of fun and very exciting to play with all those beautiful harps. How lucky we harpers are!

Good information

Be sure to checkout the discussion on Favorite Links on the Forum page. There is a lot of good information there already. There is a quite nice one on the history of harping. Add your own harping related inks, too.
