DreadWilliam plays the harp. Updated 09/18/09 Sorry for the lapse in time but I broke my left hand rather severely and it will be a bit before I am able to resume playing. In the meantime, here are three videos of I, dreadwilliam playing music on harps that I built. Two are travelogs and one shows the harps I built over time.
I played my first public recital on the celtic harp at Butler's Coffeehouse in Palmdale, California to a packed house tonight the 18th of September 2009. If my vision was good it would have scared me a bit but blind as I was without my glasses it was easy to ignore the stares. I am near-sighted and so must remove my glasses to play well. This was a very appreciative crowd and I was quite pleased with ONE exception. I got a geographical fact wrong due to nerves and there JUST happened to be a native of the British Isles in the audience. After the performance she explained,"The Manx are from the Isle of Man, not the Isle of Wight. Now I distinctly remember saying the Isle of Man, but nerves must have betrayed me. Anyway, thanks to all who appeared.
