A few days ago I was at a friend’s house looking at/playing a bunch of her instruments and she mentioned she had an autoharp.  My eyes lit up.  ”An autoharp!?? I have been wanting one of those!  I’ve even been looking on Craigslist and eBay!”

She said, “Yeah, I don’t really play it.  It’s really hard to tune.”  She broke out the suitcase which held the autoharp and I took it out and placed it on the floor.  I dropped down to my knees and began to strum.  Sure, half of the strings were out of tune, but there were a few that actually sounded okay.  She let me take the beauty home and I smiled as I walked to the train that evening.

When I got home I wrote this song and got to try it out at my recent show at The Studio at Webster Hall with Beatboxer Chesney Snow (because clearly an autoharp and and a beatboxer were meant to go together)!  The song is about traveling on a rope of stars and previously living in a dollhouse.  Aw yeah.
