FMM: Harp-ing on it

When you think of harps, first thing that comes to mind are classic and historic scenes. When you watch films about Greek gods and Greek times, you'll usually find a harpist somewhere.

When you think of harps, you think of classical music. Something very high end and elegant.

But Tadao Hayashi changed that. This Japanese harpist who made the Philippines his home was one person who made the harp very hip, young and accessible.

Dad had a cassette tape of Tadao Hayashi, and we'd often play it on weekends. 

One of my faves is "Wave," which is a very complicated piece. But with Tadao's expert hands, he made it sound so effortless.

And that's why this classic from the 80s is today's Friday Magic Madness song.
