 | Kia Ora 4 weeks ago I arrived in New Zealand to visit my daughter who lives in Paremata, just north of the capital city, Wellington. We spent most of our time together touring the South Island in an (old) rented car, revisiting places I haven't seen since emigrating the country in 1997. The country has changed a lot; less sheep, more dairy cattle, better coffee, more tourists, more sophistication, less old-world charm. The beautiful scenery, native bush and beckoning beaches remain the same. |
 Winter is a good time to work inside and I've been busy adding sheet music for harp and hammered dulcimer to my celtic harp sheet music site. There's a delightful new book of tunes for the intermediate harp player called "Melodies for Harp" by my friend Mildred Plant. You can listen to me play her piece "Sahara" on YouTube.  Celtic Harp Sheet Music now has 3 books of tunes for hammered dulcimer There are 13 international tunes per book . A 4th book is in the making. You can listen to me playing a medley of 3 tunes, the first Chinese, followed by Japanese and Appalachian on this YouTube video. All music is available for download at CelticHarpSheetMusic.com
