"Luciernagas" Coming This Summer

I will be the storyteller/musician for a seven week series for Hispanic families in Vardaman this summer. "Luciernagas" is sponsored by the Ms. Humanities Council, and involves whole families in the fun of good literature presented in Spanish and English, as well as songs and discussion of the weekly theme. We will start June 10, and already have 11 families signed up!

West Point: Music in the Park Series

I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of West Point's "Music in the Park" on May 6. It was a beautiful, warm evening and we set up in the Gazebo with hammered dulcimer, orange crate guitar, and a stack of crazy percussion instruments. We had lots of fun with stories and music. Several children in the audience became my percussion band, playing gourd shakers, rattles, tin can drums, and singing along. Thanks to the Ms. Arts Commission and the West Point Arts Council for funding this series of performances.
