rgh As a child I learned to play the clarinet but was never really happy with the instrument. During my early adulthood I played the harmonica and recorder but nothing clicked until I discovered the ocarina at the Renn Fest in Atlanta GA in 2004. I have been playing it ever since. In 2017 I picked up a ukulele and have both a concert and tenor ukulele by Enya.


Instruments

In this section I will place songs by instrument played.

I have been playing the ukulele since 20017. I have polycarbonate Concert and Tenor ukes from Enya Music that I am very happy with. So I recently decided to try their polycarbonate guitars. I purchased one and it came with metal strings. My ukes all have nylon strings so I purchased some nylon guitar strings and have restrung and tuned my guitar so that it plays as a no G ukulele. I have placed some videos on YouTube. See what you think.

rgh I play mostly folk music. I like folk music. It is the music I grew up with. Much of it is simple and easy to play. And most is old and in the public domain so I hopefully never have to worry about someone coming around looking to collect royalties. The main purpose of this section is to share my music with my sisters. If anyone else can get some enjoyment from my recordings all the better. Download and listen. If you like enjoy, if not delete.
