The Mouse Set - Irish Jigs
A couple of Irish jigs that tell a cute story:
The Mouse in the Kitchen - by Colin Farrell
The Mouse in the Cupboard - trad, possibly by Sean Potts
The Cat's Meow - by Joanie Madden
Featuring my very talented friend, Allie! Check out her upcoming music Instagram and give her a follow to see as much multi-instrumentalism as this video shows!

Also featuring studio cats Max and Leo. We had to get that cat's meow in somewhere!

Paduana alla Venetiana - Harp with Historic Carousel
Переглядів 78Місяць тому
This is an Italian tune from the early 1500's (also written "Pavana alla Venetiana) written by lute-player Joan Ambrosia Dalza and arranged by Kim Robertson. It blows my mind every time we get to play music that's centuries old; talk about a long-lasting legacy! There was the warmest, rich-colored sitting corner at an AirBnb that we stayed in that seemed perfect for this tune. And right along t...
Morning Has Broken / Si Bheag Si Mhor -- Memorial Day Harp Special
Переглядів 611Місяць тому
In honor of Memorial Day, I spent a rainy-sunny afternoon at our veteran's cemetery and played for my family and those who have gone before us in service. I love that you can hear the nearby red-winged blackbirds singing a few times in this video! Blackbird truly has spoken! Wikipedia writes, "Morning Has Broken" was written by Eleanor Farjeon and published in 1931, then set to a traditional Sc...
The Waves of Ballycurrane - Celtic Harp at a Tulip Fest!
Переглядів 3372 місяці тому
I've been so excited to share this tune and video! This is an original jig I wrote around 2018 for fiddle that I only recently harp-ified, and when Steven and I visited the beautiful Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival in Oregon last year I had a nagging desire to bring my harp with me the next year - so here we are! I hope you enjoy tulip shots, because I took a lot of them. It had drizzled much of the...
She Moved Through the Fair - Celtic Harp in the Livingroom
Переглядів 3823 місяці тому
Took some time to play a handful of tunes in the corner of the cute historic inn where Steven and I were staying the night and decided to sneak in a little live recording while I was at it. This is "She Moved Through the Fair," featuring my furtive glance to make sure I'm not annoying anyone as they come and go. 😂
The Parting Glass - Celtic Harp in the Wild
Переглядів 5913 місяці тому
A beautiful tune that I never get tired of playing: The Parting Glass, featuring nature sounds of the wind and river and one excellent fishy splash. Filmed sometime last year before I knew anything about decent filming or extra footage so please enjoy some photos and random clips from our adventures that month. Photos/footage include more of the Magic Valley and a trip to Boulder Lake that we h...
Castle of Dromore - Celtic Nature Harp
Переглядів 2793 місяці тому
Happy St. Patrick's Day! This was such a fun song to record because of all the beauty around this area! I've left the waterfall/river sounds in so it can be like one of those old Nature Quest CDs (does anyone else remember "Celtic Quest"??) There were SO MANY animals around here, including two very busy rock chucks that were sprucing up their burrow with new grass and some super cool goats abou...

The Magic Valley is just that - magic! I got to visit the wild bald eagles and play harp around some of the gorgeous canyons and waterfalls in the area recently. I learned this O'Carolan composition from Grainne Hambly - just a short clip this time around but still a goodie! Sorry for my death squint... I'm not really mad while I'm playing, the lighting and views were just best when I pointed m...
The High Drive / Mason's Apron - Session Tunes

Two fun reels in the keys of D and A; these never fail to get the toes a-tappin'. Big thanks to my friend, Ella, for helping me on this set! The High Drive was written by Gordan Duncan, and the Mason's Apron (according to an interesting tidbit I found on www.bowingdownhome.ca) can be found as long ago as 1778 in an "early variation called 'Braes of Glenorchy' in Alexander MacGlashen’s Collectio...
Kusnacht - Harping for horses
Переглядів 1,4 тис.5 місяців тому
Happy 250 subscribers, everyone!! This is a gorgeous waltz I learned from the incomparable Grainne Hambly. It seemed just the right pick for a bright, snowy day with my two girls. I also wanted to make sure they'd stick around for the whole song, so a little bit of bribery for both of them also seemed alright for the circumstance. (Lol!)
Baloo Lammy - Scottish Lullaby on Harp
Переглядів 5885 місяців тому
Filmed on a quiet December night, this lullaby has always struck me as so beautifully peaceful. It was a fun challenge to see if I could keep track of my strings in low light! In other news, my husband tells me that 250 subscribers is the next milestone, and we're almost there! I really am quite floored that anyone other than my hubs and mother are listening to my music, so thank you, truly. I ...
Ookpik Waltz - Session Tune

"Ookpik Waltz" in G major, styled after the Blake Whitmire Trio's rendition, featuring my talented friend who's been learning fiddle with me for a few years now! Wikipedia says "the Ookpik Waltz was published in 1965 by the late, Mission, British Columbia, fiddler Frankie Rodgers." My friend looked up what an ookpik is, and apparently it's a small toy owl that the Inuit people make, often out o...
The Snow Lay on the Ground - Celtic Harp for Cats

There was the loveliest drifting snowfall happening, so I grabbed my cloak and excessively warm clothing and ran outside to play this tune. But Max saw me in the cold and came out to join - so my first take or two were full of his loud quack-meowing as he paced around me, repeatedly telling me it wasn't the right time to be outside playing harp (smart kitty.) The only way to temporarily satisfy...
