The Windsong Harp Ensemble provided a heavenly concert for seniors recently. In addition to music, the winner of the "Give us a name" contest for Lafayette Senior Services was announced. "Lafayette Lively Seniors," which will eventually be shortened to "Lafayette Livelies" was the winning entry submitted by Amy Goodheart. In addition to bragging rights she won an overnight stay at the Lafayette Park Hotel and dinner for two at Yankee Pier.

Six women with six very large double action pedal harps, led by Jessica Siegel-Tonti of Harps Etc., enchanted seniors with their soothing, ethereal music. The theme of the show was, "Everything I need to know about life, I learned from a harp." The musicians took turns prior to each piece sharing a life lesson they had learned. Samantha Garvey was first up, "If you're going to make a mistake, make it loud." She explained that then you'll notice and learn from it. Next, "If you don't have blisters you aren't working hard enough." Siegel-Tonti clarified, "We're not getting blisters, we're really getting calluses - we're tough broads."
