The slice from PBS North.

I am excited to welcome Nikki Lemire back to the studio.

Nikki, you've been here before with some other projects, but you're here with your own project now.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Thanks for having me.

We were talking before the mics went on about things people ask you about the harp, such as, “that must be really hard to tune.” And.

And what was your response?

Yeah.

There.

Yes, there is that joke that harpist spent half their life tuning and half their life playing out of tune.

but yeah, you kind of get used to it.

The hardest thing about playing the harp is moving it honestly.

What would you like to start with, Nikki?

We're going to do a song called Memphis.

Ready Freddie's?

okay.
