Faerie Memories: Fantasy Music
with an Acoustic Heart
A collection of mystical, healing music woven with standard and baritone mountain dulcimer, angel wing harp, keyboard, and voice...
Welcome, fellow travelers, to my musical realm! Feel free to explore...
You will find that each of my songs is deeply tied to a story. With my singing and playing, I seek to create mystical and mythical journeys guided by an acoustic heart, which is the mountain dulcimer… This music is meant to nurture hope and affirm the goodness and beauty of life. My style incorporates a Romantic blend of medieval, Celtic, folk, and world music along with newer influences.
In live performance, my dulcimers are heralds of quiet joy, healing, and life well lived. They are especially suited to small, intimate gatherings and events, but they may also be effectively accommodated in larger venues.
I would be happy to musically accompany a special occasion in your life, to share the essence of the music that I love with others in a performance setting, or to teach about the mountain dulcimer and how it can be a source of personal enrichment.
The above pages will explain and demonstrate my approach to each of these outreaches and provide you with further information so we can explore how my music and instruction may fit into your vision.

Enchanted June Revisited

NEW MTN. DULCIMER WORKSHOP (Sun., June 22, 2025): Many thanks to our wonderful mountain dulcimer community for five years of online workshops! To celebrate this anniversary and to commemorate my recent musical trip to the UK, the theme for my next workshop is “Enchanted June Revisited”! The selections we will be learning are all musical treasures from England: John Playford’s 17th century “All in a Garden Green,” the Elizabethan “Kemp’s Jig,” and Ralph Vaughan Williams’ beautiful 20th century melodic setting of the Dorset poem “Linden Lea.” Arrangements will be appropriate for intermediate and int.-to-advanced players. A 1.5 fret would be beneficial for one tune but is not required. Registration will be $15 per participant. I will send you a Zoom meeting link and a PayPal link (or Square invoice upon request) once you RSVP by messaging me on Facebook or emailing me at [email protected].
