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.

ONLINE WORKSHOP
Wassail, Wassail!
Traditional English Wassailing Songs
Sunday, December 22, 2024, 1-2:30 p.m. CST in Zoom
NEW MOUNTAIN DULCIMER WORKSHOP (Sunday, Dec. 22, 2024): Wassailing from door to door at Christmas, New Year, and Twelfth Night was a highlight of the winter calendar in many English towns in past centuries, a cheery custom that gave rise to many joyful carols. For our Christmas workshop this year, we will learn three special wassailing songs from different regions of England: “The Gower Wassail,” “The Gloucestershire Wassail,” and “Here We Come A-Wassailing” (the Yorkshire melody with which most of us are familiar). Please bring a capo! Arrangements will be suitable for intermediate level players. 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].
Also, please see my "Letter to Friends Regarding Recordings of Workshops" (4-28-2024).
