Harp Humor
Posted Sep 26, 2005 and filed under General.
While surfing the internet, one of our members came across Garrison Keillor’s Young Lutheran’s Guide to the Orchestra. Finding the harp section amusing, we’ve reprinted that portion here for your amusement.
The other Lutheran instrument, of course, is the harp. It’s a good instrument for any Christian because it keeps you humble and keeps you at home. You can’t run around with a harp. Having one is like living with an elderly parent in very poor health: it’s hard to get them in and out of cars, and it’s hard to keep them happy. It takes fourteen hours to tune a harp, which remains in tune for about twenty minutes, or until somebody opens the door. It’s an instrument for a saint. If a harpist could find a good percussionist, they wouldn’t need anybody else. They could settle down and make perfectly good music, just the two of them.
