Monday morning’s melody is Mason Williams’s wonderful guitar piece, Classical Gas.
This is a truly beautiful live version, with Mason Williams on guitar and Deborah Henson-Conant on electric harp. The two together are just stunning.

The harpist is wonderful! My wife is a harpist, and she thought it was awesome! 😉
She is playing a lever harp and has to change the key with her fingers (the levers). Concert harps use peddles (feet). This harpist has to do three things with her two hands to play this song, play the strings and change the key. Notice too, that she seldom looks at the strings.
Awesome. It sounds like quite a feat!
