Sleep Harping. Not an affliction of those who blather on in their sleep, but a medical term for sleepwalkers who seek out the nearest stringed instrument to play. One case involved a 46-year-old man, husband to the night-time fingerpicker, who went bald after the nearest stringed instrument she could find was his wiry mane. The night she pulled the last hair from his scalp, she was halfway through April Kisses when the singular thread snapped. Cursing the instrument with a slap upside it, she rolled over and fell back into deep slumber.
