Where in the World Are You?

by Elizabeth on August 4, 2009

Please send a note to all of your harpist friends all around the world and ask them to visit this web page.  I would like to get a rough count of how many harpists there are in the world.

Please add a comment  below with your first name, last initial and city/state and country.

Pass this on to every other harpist you know anywhere so we can get an accurate count.

Stay tuned for future posts for updates on the number of visitors who have left their locations.
