Lucia Bits



There are 5 videos in this playlist, so don't run away after the first one is done!

Keep an ear out for the glass harmonica. You'll know it when you hear it.

In case you miss it in the playlist, here's another video that covers some of the same, above, but a different section.

It's called both. I think at first it was called armonica and later the h was added.

Gorgeous. Just gorgeous. Every time I hear her, I'm just blown away by how pure and clear her voice sounds. She's got the perfect voice for parts like these because she actually sounds young. I'm so jealous you got to see this live!

Speaking of jealous... how many days until your trip to the Lyric to see Pearl Fishers??? ;)

Ah...I see. I always hear about it in connection to Ben Franklin, which was before the "h"

I went online and saw some videos of people playing them. It's so cool!
