From the beginning of time, the harp has been used as an instrument of praise. In ancient times it was the traditional instrument of accompaniment for the Greek lyric poets. These poems are meant to be spoken aloud, to the simple accompaniment of music I have composed on my harp. Like the praise songs of the ancient Greeks, who sang the praises of their gods, their heroes and their earth, these are my praise songs, a variation on a theme.

Football Giant Y. A. Tittle was the most magical and unlikely quarterback hero of the 1960s - the old man performing miracles in a young man game - as he lifted a mediocre New York Giants team to championship level and earned his place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Dianne Tittle de Laet, an accomplished poet and harpist - who also happens to be the daughter of Y. A. Tittle - has written a life of the man that, unlike any other football book, is at its heart a father/daughter story.
