All the way to France

Often when I am playing on the street, people will hold their cell phones up to my harp to let the person on the other end hear my music. I often wonder where they are, in Israel, or other parts of the world. Last night a nice young gentleman was doing that, and then he mentioned that he was talking to his mother, in France. When he said she was in bed and just going to sleep, well, I just had to play Brahms' Lullaby. He really liked that.

That is not the first time I have been heard in France. A number of years ago when I still had my first harp, a young lady approached me. She had studied pedal harp. She was from France. She called her fiance in France and she played on my harp for him. There have been a number of harpists from France.
