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!

Vialiant Charger at Tracy Castle
This is the famous "Valiant Charger" harpmobile extraordinaire! Since 1993 "Valiant" has never let me down. Loaded with studded snow tires and 4 wheel drive, equipped with a battery pack portable sound system, we'll arrive on time and in style. "Valiant" saved my life one snowy New Years Eve when I was playing on the far side of Preston returning from a party on an icy dirt road. We slipped into a ditch. Without cell phone service, I was facing a midnight 2 mile walk in sub freezing tempuratures. Then I remembered...we have 4 wheel drive!!! Valiant and I followed the icy creek bed until we could climb back onto the road. It was a very slow safe drive home, at about 2 miles an hour!
