What's New!

  • The 2010 Mountain Laurel Autoharp Gathering, also home of the Mountain Laurel Autoharp Championship, occurred June 24-27.  The MLAG Board invited all past Champions (including myself, as 1995 Champion) to return and perform on the Saturday night concert.  The Board members also encouraged all past Champions to enter this year's contest.  Out of 24 contestants, I joined four other past champions in the line-up.  And the outcome?  I won!  (Now, now, don't say 'what did you expect?'.  These things can never be done deals, even to those who have won before.)  A new autoharp was part of the prize, along with a plaque and the opportunity to be a featured performer/workshop presenter at next year's Gathering.  I'm so tickled!
  • Our guest room now makes it possible to host extended-stay B&B lessons at home!  Contest coaching is also available (I coached the 2008 and 2009 MLAG Champions to victory.  Next year it could be you.)  Click here for info.
  • I'm on YouTube!  Have a listen here.
  • A monograph for diatonic autoharp--and lots of other instruments--about creating variations on a theme.
  • The Ouch page, devoted to musician's injuries for hammered dulcimer and autoharp especially, continues to be updated as more information comes to the fore.  Don't hurt while you play (no pain is the higher gain); get solutions here!
  • Check out the ergonomically friendly hammers in The Marketplace.  Dulcimer hammers always need to be an extension of the player, and so it's important that the handles especially are shaped in a way to encourage this (not all are).  Take a look now.
  • If you're on Shadrach Productions' mailing list (you are from the time you sign up or order something until you move and don't say so, or you die), has YOUR snail address changed?  Update your information here.  And is your e-mail address listed as well?  Or has that e-dress changed?  Help me keep all of these items current so I can stay in touch from time to time.

        My best to you,
