<p>Hi all! I'll be performing in a collaborative concert (each performer plays a short solo set followed by an improv jam) on February 24th at my old stomping grounds, the <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.buonobuzzard.com/">Couth Buzzard</a> in Greenwood! I love this place and it's always a treat to be invited to perform there.</p>
<p>THREE HARP NIGHT</p>
<p>Three harpists contrasting genres, styles and instruments (134 strings in all) meet for an exchange of solo sets and to surprise themselves and each other in collaboration.</p>
<p>Traditional Celtic tunes, electric improvisation and a vocal/harp serenade round out a warm evening at the <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.buonobuzzard.com/">Couth Buzzard</a>.</p>

<p><span class="font_large">However, I realized a few weeks ago that the great Tom Lehrer (mathematician, pianist, satirical genius, sometimes credited with inventing the Jell-O shot) was turning 90 years old (yesterday, in fact). 90! So, I decided I really needed to honor his birthday by singing my favorite Tom Lehrer song. (I’m sure Tom would have something wonderfully, bitingly sarcastic to say about my performance, to say nothing of my video editing skills.)</span></p>

Two blog posts in as many days? That's just craziness. But I couldn't help but share my excitement: The Digital Stage accepted and posted my entry to the #Shakes450 collaboration. (In honor of Shakespeare's upcoming 450th birthday on April 23rd, they're attempting to gather 450 videos of Shakespeare fans performing his works.)

And let me wish you all an extremely belated Happy Hogmanay as well. As is traditional, I celebrated Hogmanay this year by attending a brilliant Capitol Hill party, which culminated (inevitably) in the lot of us marching down 15th Avenue, brandishing flags of the Celtic nations, playing bagpipes, invading the local pubs/coffeeshops and compelling their denizens to sing "Flower Of Scotland" with us. This year I was privileged to carry the large Irish flag in the procession, which I managed to do without disgracing myself/injuring anyone. Good times.<br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/40196/33b072ac1d4916e629caa64e28f96c5dc20d9328/medium/img-1705.jpg?1389486658" class="size_m justify_center border_none" alt="" /><br><br>In further Scottish news, I'll be flying to Naples, Florida this week to perform at the <a contents="St. Andrews' Society's Robert Burns Supper" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.standrewsswfl.com/downloads/burns.pdf" target="_blank">St. Andrew's Society's Robert Burns Supper</a>, which is always a pleasure and a privilege!
