OH, I finally made it to see the antique Irish harp by John Kelly 1734, in
the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, this summer while I was on vacation!! What a
beauty!

You've probably all talked about this harp before I joined the list. So, if
you did, someone shoot me a post, and I'll try to raid the archives and find
out what you all have said. Just tell me what I should look under.

It was a thrill to see it. I have never seen one that old. What a lovely
thistle he had carved on the pillar! I sketched it, but I sure wish I had a
picture of it. Museums forbid photographs, then they never have postcards of
the things I want. (sigh)
