guest harpist, fire on Ben Yehuda ?

Last I night was a beautiful night on Ben Yehuda. It wasn't cold at all when I went out and got just a bit chilly later. I play much better when my hands are not cold, or freezing, which happens sometimes.

I had a guest harpist last night, Inge from South Africa, where she plays professionally on a concert pedal harp. She played very beautifully on my harp, I like to let other harpo\ists play on my harp. It adds a ittle variety to rom my repertoir and it gives me a chnce to hear how my harp sounds. Thankyou Inge for your nice music.

I was sitting there last night and all of a sudden I saw smoke billowing from the front of Bank Discount. It seemed to be comming from one of the money machines. I watched people walking by for quite a few minutes(at least 5) and nobod seemed aware that anything was happening. I don't dare go even a few feet from my harp because many people would not hesitate to come over and start messing with it. They actually try it when I'm sitting there playing.
I started thinking of calling it a night when I started smelling a very bad odor . It reminded me of the night in Tel Aviv(I used to live there). I was plating in my regular spot on the corner of Dizengoff and King George violin or recorder(pre harp days). I saw a stream of smoke coming from a window in the bank. I think I'll leave that story for another day. Anyway, back on Ben Yehuda, I was distracted, and then when I looked again the smoke had stopped. A friend went to check it out and it seems it had something to do with the lighting decoration put up for Independance Day celebration. A whole section of the lights were out.


Afterwards, sittingout there I started thinking about my blog and making notes and I think I have some good ideas which is good because this writing thing does not come easy to me. I'm a music person, not a word person.

well one idea I had was to have a baby count. My favorite audiences are the children. I love playing for them, and especially the babies. I'm going to report on the babies I play for, the ones that stop and lister, not the ones who just stroll on by.
there were about 3 earlier in the evening but not since I had hte idea. Music is so important and it is VERY important for babies to listen to music. More on that subject later.
