My reference to "digging through a box of harps" shouldn't have
suggested that I don't keep my harps in order. I do, in a custom made
case that keeps them in chromatic order from low G to High G.
However, since I don't live in a perfect world, harp cases get tipped
over, songs change too fast to get the harps back where they belong,
and sometimes I just get sloppy.
