Stood happily in the wind and rain outside of the post office Saturday morning to pick up my Beginning Autoharp Instruction Book by Bonnie Phipps from 1983. It's a lovely straight forward and easy to understand book. I got it off of Amazon. And from the Bristol library I got two charmers: Folk Style Autoharp by Harry Taussig from 1967 and Fun with the Autoharp by Mel Bay from 1971. I'm picking up two more books and a cd (Eddie Vedder playing the ukulele, how cool is that?) tomorrow after school. I'm listening to the Carter Family in the car for inspiration. I quite like Sweet Fern . I like a good yodel. And I'm not being sophisticatedly sarcastic when I say that. I had a good practice this morning. I need to get better at pattern and rhythm. But I reckon I have no time limit to learn this stuff....
