I think I have 6 pieces I could comfortably play for an audience. Although
I could probably work up several fairly quickly if necessary. I did this
with an arrangement of 'All to Jesus/I Love You Lord/Allelujah' that I put
together in about a week. Yes, I do have previous musical experience. My
wife occasionally gets disgusted with me because it seems that anything I
pick up I can play. I currently play flute in our church orchestra. The
harp just isn't loud enough to get through. I had training in bass, trumpet,
baritone, piano, guitar and I sing in the choir. I picked up an learned
flute and harp on my own.
I am afraid I have a double instrument lust problem. While I only have one
harp, I just got plans for another from Tom Duncan (Indianapolis) and hope
to build one when we get settled in Boulder (moving in a couple of weeks).
My other instrument is the flute. I currently have 9 flutes: the silver
concert flute, a fife, a pan flute in D, a glass flute, an Indian flute, a
Shakuhachi and 3 bamboo transverse flutes.
Well, I think that's enough rambling for now.

My opinions are my own, unless I decide to change them.
Then someone else can have them.
