I just found a beautiful spot

I just found a beautiful spot by a fountain. It is fairly quiet except for the sound of the water. There was both sun and shade. I was practicing my singing. I am trying to learn some John Denver songs as well as some others and it is a wonderful spot to sing to the accompaniment of the water. Hardly any people. I think it would be a lovely place to do a video with my harp. When I do I will put it on youtube. Will let you know.

John Denver

I have recently just really fallen in love with John Denver. I started searching on youtube for songs of his I was unfamiliar with and I found many. I have made a playlist of over 160 videos, but I am not finished. It includes many live concerts and interviews and I have really gotten to know who he was. He was an ecologist and was very concerned with hungry people. He was very in tune with nature and it is reflected in his music. I am working on learning some of hes music to play on the street. Please check out the playlist on my youtube channel. Just scroll down to my recommended links and click on my youtube channel. Enjoy!!

Israel

Israel is a friend of mine. I met him on the street when I play I'm not sure how long ago. He has been stopping by for over a year at least, usually on Thursday or Saturday night. He was in the army and his time was not his own. He is a very good musician, plays guitar harmonica recorder, and I'm not sure what else, and writes music and sings. Like many people I meet he has fallen in love with.the harp, and I often let him play a little when he comes by. He comes a little more often now since he has finished with the army. Last Thursday he played and he is really getting good. He added his harmonica for the first time and I was impressed. He is young and music is in his soul, and I believe he will to far.

Flute and guitar made a nice evening

Last night I was joined by two young ladies with a flute and a guitar. They are from Tel Aviv and I think they told me they came to Jerusalem just to hear me. We played together and it was nice. Heart and Soul and Paccabell are always good for jamming, and we also did All kol elle and Jerusalem of Gold. we tried a little John Denver. She really likes him and I have just gotten in to his music. That is another post. I believe they will be back to play more.They both said they had spoken to me bout playing the harp. The flutist said she really feels called to the harp and said something really nice about the way my harp playing makes her feel when she passes. She said that because of me she is saving money to buy a harp. Thank you Miss Flutist, that makes me feel really good.It was a quiet night so of course I let them both play on the harp. The guitarist also plays piano and she really did quite nicely on the harp.

This time it is Moscow

Often people walking by speaking on their cell phone will hold it up to my harp so the person on the other end can hear me. Usually I don't know where they are. Thursday night this nice young man asked me to play something romantic for his girlfriend. I played the theme from Titanic, He said he loved it and so did she and he gave me a very nice donation. I asked where she was and he said Moscow. So mow I have played to Moscow. Many times I never know where the other end of the line is.

Final ending

She still comes around, the girl who thinks women shouldn't play on the street. She comes by almost every night, sometimes she has been there twice. My solution is to stand up and start singing. She leaves immediately so I will stop singing because a woman singing is worse than a woman playing the harp. Every time when she comes up to me she is pointing her finger and acting like she is scolding me. As long as she is only there a minute, I guess I can handle that. I guess there are some stories that never end.
