They do have a responsibility, those that join Harp singing. They must put away all their pains and

groans and griefs and fears, to give the Harp community a priority in their lives. Their agenda must be

as contributors to the community, for its wellness and awareness of the next person who walks in the

door. If they dwell on what they get out of the Old Harp then they are not givers and don’t, it seems,

last long. If the individuals who focus on giving and sharing to build the community harmony then they

will stay. -- by the late Larry Olszewski, Old Harp singer from Tennessee:
