Itamar

Last night was nice and warm, nice change from last week. I met a new friend, Itamar. He was listening to me on harp, then I played something on recorder. It turns out that He is a recent graduate o the Rubin Academy, his instrument being recorder. Naturally I had to ask him to play something with me. We played Pachebel and he was truly very good.Then these young girls came along with their guitar for me to tune, a service I have done a few times for them. Itamar offered to tune it and afterwards he payed some. He is also good on guitar. Then he played one of his own compositions and song. It was from Song of Songs, or Shir HaShirim. It was VERY good. When he was finished he said that they were connected to peace because their author, King Soloman"s name was derived from the word for peace, shalome. He also said that the harp is connected to peace.
