Ok, harp-lers old, new, accredited, sharp, flat, natural, one and all - let's just agree to disagree before someone is truly (and probably accidentally) offended.
Here's a much less exacting challenge for you novices and experts :
Over the last week or so, my house has been filled with the all-too-frequent strains of the national anthem of some lesser-known republic (oops, sorry, democracy) called the Useless of A, or something similar. This could have something to do with them winning the odd medal or two at a sporting event.
Now, I've tried to play this said tune, together with Hendrixian embellishments, on my (t)rusty old LO (in C), but I keep either failing to find notes, or falling off the end of the harp and injuring my achilles tendon.
Why don't you people help this refugee from an athletically-challenged nation by e-mailing the tab (in as many positions/keys as possible) to harp-l ? But if you do, please don't spend even longer criticising each others mistakes/differences afterwards - this is meant to be *pleasurable*, not an Olympic competition !
Maybe we could synchronise watches and set some world record for the greatest number of harpers simultaneously playing the anthem ?
