Here is gentle music I play on folk harp in a calming improvisational style perfect for meditation, reading, cuddling, making love, falling asleep, or even just breathing. Namasté ~Joan Patrie. Note: please listen in a safe quiet place where it's okay to dose off (not driving)

    Harping In Place IX

    Harping In Place IX (again) I've been in the throes of moving into Senior housing for the past 2-1/2 months.  My present apartment (with its nerve-wracking pervasive 120 Hz hum) runs interference on my ability to create music, and I haven't been able to play anything new, so here is another one of my favourites from during the pandemic.  I'll be in a new apartment soon (next week) which I hope will be conducive to playing again.  Namasté  file = 200330_1214 Harping in Place IX 18m [320 kbs mp3] 2020 © Joan Patrie please enjoy this original music for your personal use relaxing, tranquil, folk, harp, yoga, meditation, lovemaking, sleep iTunes Season 5, Episode 12
