Once more we move up into the Eighties (I think, there's no date on this one, but it looks and sounds Eighties) for more Christmas music from the harp. None of these harpists I'm sharing today are really big names, or at least I don't know much about any of them. Wait, are there any big-name harpists? I guess it's not my instrument of choice, but it makes for nice Christmas music. This is

ReplyDeleteThanks! There are a lot of harpists out there, but my favorite is still Chico! :)
DeleteDo The Harp Twins (Camille and Kennerly) count as famous? Or at least Internet-Famous? :)
ReplyDeleteThank you as always for the shares!
Internet famous maybe. :)
DeleteWas looking forward to you posting this one! Greg Buchanan made several appearances on Christian television during the late-'80's and '90's. He Certainly played a big harp!
ReplyDeleteI imagine there are different size harps same as there are different sized saxophones. But I don't have any experience with such things. :)
DeleteC'mon - Harpo Marx!
ReplyDeleteWell, that may not be what he's best known for... :)
DeleteDorothy Ashby deserves to be a more well known harpist outside of jazz & dj circles....
ReplyDeleteYes, but her Christmas effort was a bit of a snooze. :(
