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!

Dec. 20th wedding Tracy Castle Amanda and Kyle

Beautiful Tracy Castle, a winter fairy tale...Rev. Darrel Frye performed this succinct but lovely service for Amanda and Kyle.  One line of his homily, a quote from Mason Williams, I thought was noteworthy. 
Love is a journey.
The moment it begins,
The journey's all there is,
No matter where it ends.

It's always an honor to play at Tracy Castle.  When my father was alive he would enjoy the drive and the show.  Bart Tracy always set out a chair for my father and treated him as a special guest.  We must have attented 20 or more weddings together at Tracy Castle.  Very special memories!
