Harping in Place; tranquil folk harp by Joan

Arabesque 1 [redux]

Moved into my new place—which is a huge relief. It is SO much nicer, and it will be conducive to playing. But, I've not been playing enough lately to get my chops back; so here is a republishing of another one of my favourites from during the pandemic. —Joan on Broadway, Namasté

Tranquil folk harp music suitable for relaxing, yoga, meditation, lovemaking, sleep… Warning: do not listen whilst operating dangerous equipment or driving at night ;-) Seriously, tho!

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
