Pat, Keep reading down to about the 7th paragraph and you'll see the info about the harp competition! Since I was responding to a fiddler's email, I put the fiddle part first. Kelly Stewart is sending 9 of her students to the competition! It's great to have a local teacher in the Scottish tradition.
