No sign of a new tune yet...

I know I said I was working on it.
I have been practising...honestly, it's just that I'm not inspired at the moment.

Hrrrmmmph.

Bleurghhhhh.

Bored.

The one piece I NEED to play has been so damned elusive, I'll never nail it. It is beautiful. Modern. Full of technique that should be way beyond a late-starter-self-taught-harper. But it's so nearly there!!! I have spent 3 years modifying my crappity hand-position into something that resembles a proper harpist. It makes arpeggios easier. I have studiously studied a beautiful Dutch girl on YouTube who kindly introduced me to this wondrous piece, for every nuance and glissando and struck chords that I would never in a month of Sunday's work out for myself.

One day I will have it IT SHALL BE MINE MWAH HA HA !!!

The music? Inge Frimout Hei's Sunrise, from the Blue Planet.

It's beautiful.
