Pictured here is the Thormahlen Swan made of Koa and strung in folk gut. I loved the feel of this harp and the warm tone. I’m also pleased with Thormahlen’s new Ceili model harp strung in carbon fiber. I first played one these when Kathy Chanick brought hers to Harper’s Ferry last fall.
In our life journey, we search for those adventures that will enrich our lives and bring a sense of fulfillment. Here, I chronicle some of those travels and the role the harp plays in my life story.

Thormahlen Harps
The next day, we drove 3 hours to Thormahlen Harps. This was a great time to visit, because they have 5 harps available that they are showing Harp Con in St. Louis in August.

Home Again
I'm home and I had a glorious time in Scotland. I just visited the website for Skyewalker Youth Hostel. They have posted videos to YouTube and here is the link for one of me playing at the hostel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcHSjQwjUOY

The Auld Wives Lift

As we trekked out of the pine forest and across the moor, Cheyenne relayed the folklore of these three massive stones. The story goes that three witches were in an argument about which of them was the strongest. Each of them carried one of these stones in their apron and hurled them in the air and they landed in their current resting positions. All of the sisters were equally strong. These stones rest in their own natural amphitheater. The stones have Pictish carvings, and through the years have aquired more carving from the peoples of various ages that have come into contact with the stones. Pretty cool, huh?
And so ended the last exciting event on my last day before flying back to the U.S.
