I didn't really know a lot of the history when I was younger. I didn't realize that the harp is coded in such a specific way in musical circles. It's kind of this society instrument because of its history as a young woman's parlor instrument.

I am not doing something that it is experimental music in relation to classical music.

I didn't sing for years and years, but I started playing harp when I was maybe 9 or 10. I had actually wanted to play for years leading up to that, but no teacher in our little town would take me on as a student, because I was too young.

I don't think I'm abnormal and I think that lets people down.

People in San Francisco and the East Bay have shown interest, done interviews, and have come to shows. I guess that the news travels fast out of this island that we are on.

I did spend a year in high school being obsessed with Fleetwood Mac.

I can't play my songs on the smaller harp. I have a Celtic harp. I can't do the key changes.
