I play the harp and synthesizers. On harp I play orchestral music, pop music and celtic music. On synthesizers, I often recreate the complex sounds of the 60's, 70's and 80's music. Additionally, I also play organ, and Mellotron. #harpist #synthesizer

These are the kids that Musk brought in to government offices that now have your data. Nobody vetted them, no data privacy training or authorization and no background checks. Yet, here we are. Any one of them could sell that data over and over again and make millions of dollars by selling it.

When it comes to me liking or preferring to use streaming services, I’m not “most people”. I very much dislike it and avoid it at all costs. I suppose if I must be in a group, then please associate me with “you people”.

Excited to play Stravinsky Firebird this spring (harp part). It’s been years. I have always found it fun to play.

Why do I feel that the student driver I failed four years ago for crashing the car and backing over the cat, has now just been hired as the school’s head bus driver?

I would not be surprised at all of DJT or his family purchases the 50% of TikTok. He does nothing unless he can make a personal profit.

A couple of nights ago in New Orleans French Quarter, I attended a private party and was blown away by a fantastic performance of a band named Cowboy Mouth. Their onstage and off stage antics and perfect performance is not to be missed.
