Hi, Everyone. I'm new to playing the harp, maybe 6 months and have been taking lessons. I have no music training and know nothing about reading music. I...

It's considered (by everyone I've ever talked to about it anyway) *very* uncool to sit in the audience and play (or sing, etc) when a band is up there...
I was never good at bending to pitch. I could bend bluesy in between notes but not exact melody notes. Recently I was fooling around on the harp and stumbled...
Richard, Thanks for you input. It gives me new viewpoints and styles of play to consider. You are right on target about enhancing the Band instead of...
In my opinion, but not to offend you, this is bad. No horrible, but bad form, shall we say? I think however that you are trying to do it in the nicest...
Dear Joel and List, In my opinion, it is totally, unequivocally, absolutely, undeniably, and utterly UN-COOL to play harp in the audience while a band is...
Joel... Yes, Bad. What you described is considered to be very poor etiquette. Even if Howard Levy played from the audience it would still be considered bad...
First, I appreciate all the feedback. I find it interesting that I believe three of you used the term "audience" referring to what I was a part of. Now I'm...

It is rude and presumptive behavior to play in the audience or even a more informal bar room without being invited. I have had a couple of situations where a...
I think you did the right thing even if it was embarrassing. You proved to your audience that you have a heart, that you are not afraid of the talents (good,...
