Harping In Place IX (again) I've been in the throes of moving into Senior housing for the past 2-1/2 months.  My present apartment (with its nerve-wracking pervasive 120 Hz hum) runs interference on my ability to create music, and I haven't been able to play anything new, so here is another one of my favourites from during the pandemic.  I'll be in a new apartment soon (next week) which I hope will be conducive to playing again.  Namasté  file = 200330_1214 Harping in Place IX 18m [320 kbs mp3] 2020 © Joan Patrie please enjoy this original music for your personal use relaxi ..read more
