TIME FLIES!!

Somehow it is already June, classes done, exams done - feeling great about it all, just don't know where the time went. Just the dissertation to tackle and complete! This is a brief update- but first to say I'll have a major overhaul to my website shortly- to make it more accessible to me, to you: as a musician's and educator's site and research resource!
I recently had a great visit from my aunt and uncle- we started with a visit to Portsoy for a music festival, my uncle Clarence sang and seemed to immediately have the audience in a trance.

In Portsoy we met Gaelic singer and language/culture advocate- the amazing Griogair Labhuridh, who invited us to a breath-taking visit to the Glencoe/West Highlands area.

Spectacular and dramatic landscape, stories of the land and lots of music and song sharing!!

My mom is the last to visit later this month - and I have some performances and directing here and there over the 30 days in between dissertation writing- then back to Iowa!! Lots to do when I get back - besides planning for the upcoming school year, check out my gigs page - starting to fill up with exciting and special events! Plus- get ready for the Cedar Rapids Folk Club announcement (based on the unique Scottish folk club format that I've learned so much about and enjoyed here).
~~More updates and details to come after I re-do this website!
Cheers
