Study Time!
To further my revision of my "Harping on Harps" paper into a class for Pennsic this year, I managed to find a copy of a book I had previously only been able to "rent" from Amazon: "Tree of Strings: Crann nan teud, a history of the harp in Scotland" by two scholars of early music in general and the clarseach in particular, Keith Sanger and Allison Kinnaird. I was never able to get round to reading it when I had it on loan digitally from Amazon, but now I got nothing but time and a nice physical copy of the book to peruse at my leisure. I'm already stoked to dive into it, because it has a couple chapters on the revival of the instrument in the 60s and 70s. SO FREAKING EXCITED TO READ THIS and make copious notes!
