Weather was bad yesterday so wife and I went to the Police & Justice Museum in Sydney.

It was in the old court/police building. They had lots of mug shots, papers, copy of Ned Kelly's death mask, and actual weapons used in crimes.

Alone in one of the cells I decided to do an impromptu bit of harping.

Great accoustics.

I once played in an old Jail. It was in SA in, I think, Georgetown. It was an historic stone structure & had great accoustics. I wasn't able to record as I had nothing but a harp with me.

Could imagine it would be a good way to practice harp being in prison? Probably need to be in solitary as other prisoners would complain. Bit drastic, I think I will stick to subways, caves, tunnels etc.

Nice harp playing by the way.

Thanks Aussie. The room truly was just about empty; stone everywhere. Nice echo chamber.
