Autoharps and Autoharp Radio

I'm getting ready to sell a few of my autoharps. Yes, I said a few autoharps. I have, what eight now... I lost count. I don't really play them all you see. Pretty much I just pick one or two at a time and then play my wee heart out.

I started playing autoharp in 1997. My rock band was breaking up and I wanted to learn to write songs with a decent melody. I just wasn't doing that with rock music. So I turned to folk. A couple years later, I started the Brobdingnagian Bards with Andrew. We started playing Irish folk songs like Gypsy Rover and other songs.

Any case, my autoharping developed quite nicely. I never heard another autoharper until I got on MP3.com. So I created my own unique style of playing the autoharp.

Sometime in 2001, I started my Autoharp Music Tips website. I found other autoharpists interested in promoting their music so I did what I could for them as well. Eventually, I created an Autoharp Radio station on MP3.com. When that site finally died, I moved Autoharp Radio to Live 365. It's been there ever since.

The station is highly rated and gets over 800 people listening every month. I'm happy to say that it's drawn a decent number of music lovers into the autoharp fold. And for that reason, I'm happy I keep the station alive.
