Listening tips:🔊 (1) No transcript (2) With the transcript below (3) One last time just for for fun! Let's GO! [Intro... ] Interview: Hi everybody! I was just walking down the street and I saw this kind of a hippie looking dude and I thought, and I thought, Hey, this hippie looking dude, he could be interesting to interview! So, and he, and I said, Hey can I interview you? And he said, Yeah, sure! About what? And I said, Well what do you do? Are you a musician? 🎼 (I was guessing you know, because he looked like, like a hippie dude) So, and he said, Yeah, I am! So tell me, what... what instrument do you play? I play the harp. 🎶 Oh, the harp, umm, so that is a solo thing, no? Sometimes solo, sometimes with orchestras, small groups... And so do you play regularly with a small group? Umm, I’d say that I play regularly with different groups, actually. And tell me how long have you been playing the harp? 18 years. Oh so, you're like... you're a professional harpist as it were. I suppose so. I’d like think so. How long did it take for you to master the harp? Oh, I wouldn't say that I've mastered harp. I don't even know what that means! Oh yeah, that's a good response! I was thinking “master” is maybe... too much. How long would it take someone (say me, if I had any talent) to learn to play a song on the harp? Umm, depending on the song maybe a few weeks, maybe a month or a couple months. Depends on how hard you wanna work and how interested you are. OK, so I could pick up a harp and maybe be playing something in a year, yeah? Yeah, I mean you’d be playing “something” the whole time (haha) This is true! Um, how many harps do you own? Three harps. Three harps, and how much does a harp cost? It sort of depends on the kind of harp. I have a small harp time, that maybe has a the couple of octaves, three octaves or so, and that's probably only a few hundred dollars. But then, the big concert harp is at least $12,000. $12,000 for your concert style harp, so, so to all the listeners out there, I suggest you start off with a little harp and work your way up. OK? OK, I think that's it, we're going to end it there. Thanks again to my guest, whose name I won’t ask because, you know, we’ve got to keep everything on the "discreet." But, it was a lucky thing to bump into this dude and find out, Yeah! He's a harpist! I hope you enjoyed the podcast, and we’ll see you next time. Bye! ... Bye! -👉🏼--> Did you enjoy the episode?
