This gives you an idea of what we sound like and hopefully we're more polished now. Whenever we get together though for practices or to sing for others, we enjoy ourselves

Hi I'm new to BlueSky (and don't do any other social media) so haven't checked my msgs.
We have a YouTube of us from when we just started - only a few months together... There are 8 singers now and the autoharp.

1. Our Border Collie Annie turning 1!
2. Spring, it's scents, birds and promise of renewal.
3. Learning new pieces to play on my 'harp.
Chord layouts for the three 'harps.
d'Aigle Freedom Harp - Carbon fibre top, walnut back and sides (Bryan Bowers chord layout) d'Aigle Cascade Harp - Spruce top, walnut back and sides (hymnal chords)
d'Aigle Freedom and Cascade autoharps - both have pickups installed
Oscar Schmidt (OS11021AE) - my first chromatic autoharp, factory produced My d'Aigle Freedom Harp
Quick reference chart for my 'harps.
My three autoharps. The Oscar Schmidt was my first 'harp. It is really heavy and clunky to play but actually was a good 'harp to learn on. My two luthier crafted 'harps are so much more of a pleasure to play! Gorgeous tone and resonance.
Sunsets here on Kootenay Lake, BC, Canada.

Annie in September '24 - all tuckered out!
Annie's growing up! Don't think she'll be a big border collie... time will tell.
