Remember this woman..... 2009, ....she was 47 at that time

She is now 16 years older

and still sings like a nightingale.

In 2013, she revealed her diagnosis with autism spectrum disorder, previously called Asperger’s syndrome, and how it affected her life and career.

I remember her and this guy:

I don't really watch the show but I've seen those two audition.

I remember William, he fell foul of Cowell's mouth

Here's a different take on Classical, one by the man himself, accompanied by a harpist.

I think the Eagles were aware of more than perhaps we gave them credit for....

""We satisfy our endless needs, and justify our bloody deeds.. In the name of destiny, and in the name of God.." ......."

Wow a harp is an amazing instrument. The sounds are amazing.

My favourite husband and wife team, the Brooklyn Duo, with one of their Christmas numbers.

A harpist can make or break an ensemble or even an orchestra.

They are as crucial to the timing or 'beat' as the conductor.

accompanied by a harpist.

A long time ago, I dated a professional harpist. I can play (assuming I can remember) a few things on the harp. More specifically, it was a concert grand pedal harp. Given enough time, I can play most anything on the harp. That's because you can sort of cheat.

If you look really closely (and not all harpists do this), Middle C is tinted red. In some cases, the F notes are marked in blue. This helps you know where you are. Also, sometimes all the C notes will be tinted red.

That's kind of the standard, but some harpists prefer other colors -- and some harpists don't use colored strings at all.

Anyhow, she played in a fairly famous orchestra and traveled a lot. We were together for long enough to cohabitate. That gave me plenty of time with her practice harp. I learned to pluck out songs from Led Zeppelin to Pink Floyd.

In this case, her practice harp had colored strings. Her performance harp did not have colored strings.

Also, harps can be absurdly expensive. The harp she used to perform with had been loaned to her from some collection and was quite valuable. Her practice harp was worth more than some nice (at the time) new cars.

Man, thanks for posting that!

You dredged up memories I haven't had for years -- which is one of the many reasons why I like music.

To become truly classical, a writer must cease composing, and start decomposing

what do you mean by decomposing? lol
