I Started Playing Harp About Fourteen Years

We Deserve To Know Light. And Grow Evermore Lighter And Lighter.

Never Get So Attached To A Poem That You Forget Truth That Lacks Lyricism.

I Played Piano For About Two Years When I Was A Kid. I Didn't Play Long Enough To Be Really Great.

I Didn't Really Know A Lot Of The History When I Was Younger. I Didn't Realize That The Harp Is Coded In Such A Specific Way In Musical Circles. It's Kind Of This Society Instrument Because Of Its History As A Young Woman's Parlor Instrument.

Families Of Privilege And Money Would Have Harps In Their Parlors, And Their Cultured Daughters Would Learn To Play. It's Got Such A Strange History. But That Wasn't The Context That I Learned It In, So The Inherent Friction Between That History And The More Humanist Folk-y History Wasn't In My Conscience At All.
