Autoharp Tips

Just a couple more weeks away from my first Beginning Autoharp Course at Things Celtic. That's on June 17, 2006 at 4:30pm. I need to write a PSA for it since it is free. Should be an interesting thing.

I love the autoharp. I first "swiped" my dad's autoharp in the early 1990s. But it wasn't until 1997 that I first started learning the autoharp and planning to use it in a professional fashion. Gotta love it!

So grab your autoharp and c'mon out!

15 Best Free Music Blogs of April 2006

I'm listening to a podcast while the thunder rumbles outside. We'll have a downpour soon. Meantime, this Brain Storm Podcast really sounds fantastic. I love things that jog my music marketing mind. Now that'd be a cool podcast.

I really need to find a group to brainstorm out-of-the-box ideas with. And then find people to help me make projects happen. That's always the next big challenge. Too many ideas and not enough people to make these ideas come to fruition.
