I'm literally a harp player beginner, so I have to say sorry not to put a composition of mine here. Just a meeting with friends and wishing to play with them. One of them is playing an Ukulele and another plays an acoustic nylon strings guitar. So I've showed them a simplified song structure, you know, the way I've found, writing notes in a piece of paper. So it worked. They did not know the song but they'veacompanished me and lots of fun. Music theory is very important to help in contacting with other musicians, continue reading...

I was asked to sit-in with a group that plays Carter Family material. The melody singer wasn't able to attend so I had to cram and perform the style as best I could in two weeks. I tried to stay respectful to the genre with both my accompaniment & solos. Although I was  pushed for time, which was nerve racking, it ended up being a great learning experience. Here's "You've Been A Friend To Me" one of the tunes I played that night . See my "Carter Family, Me? 2" share if you're interest in hearing a 2nd song.

We did the first track without him, explaining to the audience that our bass player was running late then the banter that you hear at the start has me calling on the groom, James, to lend an impromptu  hand! continue reading...
