Ken asked about arab sounding harp - who is the guy you found??? Please share! If you haven't heard Howard Levy play on the cd's "odd times" + "sultan's picnic" by Rabih Abou-Khalil (enya records), you're in for a grand surprise. Another more Indian sounding harper is Roland van Straaten from Switzerland(though he overblows, he's not as great as howard-but then who is...).If anyone know of more harpers in oriental or african, klezmer, rembetika, venus-to-mars, eskimostyle harpin'...please let us know. Even purist blues die-hards can sometimes pick up ideas from other music, without turning their lifestyle to new age. Lazy Lew.
