I have a new webcam and I've decided to force myself to work on my harp-playing by producing "how to play" videos of some of my favourite tunes. This is the first one of what will hopefully be many.
Days of Wine and Roses is in F and it's played on a C diatonic, ie. 12th position. There's a single overblow, but the combination of that and the unusual position makes this a two-star difficulty in my book.
The playing is far from perfect here, articulation is iffy, but it's as much a testament for me (hopefully I'll put up better played further takes down the line) as it is a how to for you.

Ben, very nicely done.
This tune is deceptively tricky to play as cleanly as you did, and with such tonal clarity. Not being an OB'er, I can't make it sound that nice in any position I can find the melody on. Really impressive, IMO.

Good job! Great controlled vibrato.
