    listened to your myspace, you have a really cool sound.

    having listened to your voice i'd go with lowlight, amen omen and dondante.

    interesting that people would request amen omen over some of harpers other tunes. alone and two hands of a prayer would sound killer with your voice.

    thanks! glad you liked what you heard.

    i thought the same thing about BH. i've covered amen omen live before, which may be why friends & people that were there are asking for it. i absolutely love to play Alone. such a great, great song.

    I vote for Tangerine, but only if you're adding the steel guitar part.

    hey everyone--

    i've recorded these 4 songs so far:
    "Between The Bars" by Elliott Smith
    "Elderly Woman" by PJ
    "Dondante" by My Morning Jacket
    "Nude" by Radiohead

    i was going to start a new myspace page that was strictly covers, and then i realized that wasn't really a good idea due to copyright law. in any case, i'm going to keep recording these songs that i love to play...it's a nice break from what i've been working on lately. so if you want to hear my renditions of them, just shoot me a pm with your email & i'll send them your way. hope you like them & thanks for listening!
