Uriel & Jan

Jan is a harpist, who plays Celtic harps in many places, of those, her most rewarding is beside the hospital bed of someone in need of a bit of soothing music.

She plays with our choir at church, her music adding to the beauty of the combined voices and instruments, and with moving solos.

Uriel is Jan's archangel which stands with her as she's playing, watching over those in need. She's written a song of her prayer that she prays as she is playing beside those in need. A prayer asking Uriel to help heal the heart & sooth the soul with angels blessings from above.

Jan is recording an album of her own compositions and those of others, that will be used where and when she cannot go to one in need of this soothing music.So that the album would have at least a photo of Jan, I had the honor of doing a photo session with Jan on a small hill-top at sunset. We were wind-blown a bit, and the wind started playing the strings, almost like an organ's pipes. It was a special time together, full of laughter and fun.

I do believe I caught Jan's bit of Irish fun, and that special twinkle in her smile and eyes.
