The Lady and the Harp

I come up with this memory the other day: There were a lady back in the depression who lived in Harper and word got around she played the harp. The womens in the Culture Club of Harper wouldn't have been satisfied until they got her to come and harp for their Wednesday afternoon meeting. They come up with a bunch of classical numbers for her to play and one of them was from the opera Carmen. I'm sure y'all have heard it even if you don't know it by name. Well this woman, a Mrs. Dumas, accepted their invite and showed up with just her purse. They asked if she needed help with her instrument and she said, "No. She could handle it." When it come time for her to play she stood before the group and told them she didn't know a just plain Carmen song but she could play Coming Round the Mountain where
upon she pulled out a french harp and commenced to play.

She warn't asked back.
