whats the name of the songs playing?

could you please post em into the info?

[WarthogATen]

@bL4CK4TT4CK Thanks for asking -- I just added the info on all the songs you hear in the montage :-)

Erin is taking the harp where it should have been also, in the world of rock. Thousands of harp players and only a small handful actually feel comfortable playing with rock sensibilities. Her skill is broad. Her humor is good too.

The world would be a more interesting place if there were more people like Erin around. She's a rarity and an amazing talent.

excellent, i love seeing the harp played in new ways. you will inspire others to play and appreciate the wonders of harp.

@1883luvangel hmm, how about the middle part where Erin sings a Puccini aria, "O Mio Babbino Caro" while accompanying herself on the harp -- is that classical enough for you?

[1883luvangel]

A violation of the harp;-( is like spraying flowers with raid,, Is like washing your hair with gasoline.. is like playing metal music in heaven. lol

[joebstarsurfer]

Oh yeah, how much did she win on "Millionaire"?

(Not really)

[Chefodeath]

Eh, I love the sound of the harp, I just don't think it really meshes that well with the rock sound.

[LKRaider]

I wish I could find the complete Space Oddity cover performance online

[LaurentziuRo]

Very interesting sound!
