I was the same kind of father as I was a harpist - I played by ear.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I started playing harp about fourteen years ago.
I believe I inherited my sense of music from my father. My father was an ear piano player; he could just hear something and play it.
And my daddy could play a harmonica and also the guitar, so I guess I got a little bit from both of 'em, but I think mostly from my mother's side of the family.
My dad also plays a little banjo and guitar, my mom plays the mandolin.
Both of my parents were musicians.
My father had a varied ear, from Hank Williams to Ravel.
My mother was an artist and highly strung, whereas my father was much calmer.
I've played everything but a harp.
I grew up with a beautiful gold harp sitting in our living room. My older sister played it.
My father always wanted me to play a musical instrument, and I never had that type of skill.
