Happy New Year from the prairie. I’m thankful for my quiet life that revolves around creativity, kindness, and peace. I hope and fear many things in this coming year, and so I wish to find ways to make the big world a bit more like my little world.

Christmas Eve is a big gig day because I get to play three services at Saint Mark’s. These share a snapshot of the experience. My dress is traditional Polish ordered from Poland in memory of my mother and maternal grandmother.

A pic from my performance with Dr. Darryl White, trumpet professor at UNL. It is always an honor to perform with him, and I have the good fortune of working as weekly service harpist for Saint Mark’s United Methodist Church where we perform duets on a monthly basis. 🌸

Jazzocracy at the Zoo Bar. The keyboard player is Randall Snyder, an incredible modernist composer and jazz musician who performed with Jay McShann back in the day. Snyder’s compositions have been performed all over the world during his career.
