Meanwhile, back in the real world ... I have a CD titled "Imaginocean" by
Stephanie Bennett which has cover photos featuring Stephanie playing a harp
underwater ... one was taken about 10 feet underwater and has Stephanie
swimming with the harp, and the other was taken about 30 feet down, with
Stephanie sitting on a plastic chair on a coral reef, playing the harp
whilst an appreciative piscean audience cruises past - a school of yellow
tropical fish.
Apparently the harp wasn't real well after that little episode, but it was
only a clunky old Aoyama, so ... no - I'd better not say any more!
I wonder if they sell this CD at Song of the Sea?
Have fun
