Tranquil MMVI.49 [wire-strung harp] Valentine suite IV

lovers drinking wine. candles on tables glowing. love-light in their eye. ... From 'Valentine' suite IV - Myxed Dance... B Natural... Afterdance as Well. Played Live at the Nordic Bay Lodge (Marquette, Michigan USA), on Valentine's Day evening, to a restaurant jammed with lovers (some even married ;-), with candles on the tables, and wine-tasting the featured activity (other than romance), and me playing my little harp for them. I played well (not perfectly), my harp was in fairly good tune (though it's difficult to tell in a crowded room), and i decided to publish the recording as an album. What to call it, i wondered briefly. But, what a perfect excuse to name it 'Valentine'. I might never get another chance ... BTW, this was also my first recording using GarageBand (with a MOTU 828 24-bit linear audio interface, recording 6-tracks simultaneous), which now has become my new way of doing things. {What you hear in this recording is just the stereo pair of mics inside my harp - 'straight up'; the room was too noisy to mix in to this stereo version; i'll save it for the surround in a 5.1 thingy some day.} ... Upcoming gigs - Nov 30th (tommorrow) at the Upper Peninsula Medical Center lobby at Noon (harp and piano), December 3rd (Sunday evening) at the Peter White Public Library (on flute, with Charlie Nevil on piano), and New Year's Eve in the Restaurant at the Holiday Inn, 7~9 pm (harp), all in Marquette. Nothing else booked in December (yet ;-) ... Listen in peace and joy.
