Gary Karr: Remembering Arla

The newest CD from Gary is a tribute to his late sister, the harpist Arla Capps. From the cover photos to the simple and heartfelt remembrance of their years growing up as musical siblings, this is a must-have for Gary Karr completists. Nineteen selections for harp and double bass, many of them arrangements created by Gary and Arla, lovingly performed by Annabelle Stanley, playing Arla’s 1890 Lyon and Healy instrument, and Gary.
