At long last! I’m playing my first live AND in-person solo concert in ages! Come join me at the Ella Sharp Museum in Jackson MI on Wednesday morning, November 3, 2021 (yes, NEXT Wednesday morning), 11:00 AM EDT. It’s all part of the 34th annual StoryFest celebration, sponsored by Jackson District Library. Hope to see you there!
Thanks to everyone at the Gebhard Woods Dulcimer & Traditional Music Festival for a great weekend! I enjoyed teaching two Zoom harp workshops (well done, harpers!) and the live chat during my prerecorded concert set.
As promised to my Fit for a Queen workshop, here are some of my favorite sources for English country dance tunes. Which sources – and which tunes – are *your* favorites? Let me know in the comments!
The Complete Country Dance Tunes from Playford’s Dancing Master (1651-ca. 1728), Jeremy Barlow. (Faber Music and Amazon)
English Country Dances Tunes (3 volumes), Peter Barnes. (Canis Publishing)
Finally! Excited to return as the harp headliner at the 2021 Gebhard Woods Dulcimer & Traditional Music – yes, they have harp! This year’s virtual festival is free, with no registration needed.
My concert and both workshops are all on Sunday, June 13, 2021. The harp workshops are for *all* lever harps (key of G tuning); be sure to download handout PDFs before the workshops . I’ll feature the double-strung harp in my concert set.
