Long time folk musician. I've been a guitarist and singer for almost 35 years. I took up the folk harp about 4 years ago, building my own harp from Musicmaker Kits blueprints. I have started playing with a Contra Dance band with 3-4 fiddles, banjo, mandolin, drum, guitar and whomever else we can get to play with us. We don't have a name for the band yet. (Any suggestions?)
I'm married with 5 children and 4 great grand children, misc cats and a dog.
