Welcome!

Welcome to my interactive web site! I have been in the wedding industry for 27 years and have played at least 2500 weddings. This gives me a fascinating perspective, much of it poignant, memorable and hilarious.

Some weddings are unusual, such as transgender, same sex, cult, nudist or on horseback. I've played a Lord of the Rings wedding that was conducted in Elvish. Some are lavish and others are fleeting, such as one where a communist defector married at the airport. Some have been interrupted by accident (bride fell and broke leg on step to altar), one came to her wedding in an ambulance escorted by a nurse holding her IV. The tragic ones involved alcohol.

Did you know playing at the Columbia Tower Club involves 48 elevator rides to set up and break down? And there is a wonderful tunnel system under the streets to get from the load zone to inside the Fairmont Hotel in Seattle.

My harp has a $50,000 replacement value with over $10,000 of 23 kt. gold leaf. It is very delicate, yet I move it myself, often many times a day. I have a unique profession, a unique place in the community and a unique perspective to share. I would like to be enriched by hearing from you as well!

17th Year at City Centre

On Thursday a gentleman came up to me and mentioned that 17 yars ago I let his small daughter ask questions and touch my harp.  He said my kindness and enthusuasm were infectious.  His daughter now has a harp degree from the Cleveland Institue of Music and will be doing graduate work on the harp at the Curtis Institute. She has recently published an article about her career in "The Harp Column" magazine.  THe importance of live music can never be underestimated!!  Thanks to all my friends at Bentall Tenant Services for making live music a part of our city!!
