dorothy ashby died way too young. there are so few pedal harpists outside the classical sphere.

Indeed it is.
It's pretty chill music, I like it.

And this is coming from a die hard headbanger.

omg, auntblabby. Thank you so much for sharing that link. Not only was it great to listen to here and now, but there was also an unexpected realization for me.

For some years now, I'd had a kinda vague worry that I didn't actually like harp music. But listening to today's link helped me figure out that I'm not able to TOLERATE harp music WITH a soprano voice. A possible overstimulation for me...as I do like harp and harp with other sounds AND I do like sopranos and sopranos with other sounds, but not a combo of harp and soprano.

Thank you! You're a genius! Now I don't have to fret about trying to avoid ALL harp pieces. :)

Thank you for sharing that with us. That music sounds very beautiful. It's too bad that the CD is out of print. I was going to get myself a copy. Thank you once again. :)
