    The Harp Twins. Check them out on youtube. They did many heavy metal and hard rock covers on their harps.

    I saw a harpist do her version of “Mizerlou,” (the Dick Dale classic.) It was pretty good.

    This painting clearly reflects that the young lady depicted, while not the prettiest of women, was part of a family with money enough to commission the work – The year being 1805, she posed at the very beginning of Napoleon’s rule. I wonder if she survived the coming upheavals.

    Pregnancy ended or at least, interrupted, many a female’s harp career (unless the music performed during the third trimester was limited to a handful of treble notes)

    There used to be a tea shop in town which had a harpist during lunch time. It was actually very nice to hear. I enjoyed some quiet music while being able to converse with my lunchmate, without the usual blaring overhead speakers or TV other restaurants have.
