I Am Always Trying To Write.

I Can Understand Someone Not Liking The Voice Or The Songs.

I Started Playing Harp About Fourteen Years Ago.

Families Of Privilege And Money Would Have Harps In Their Parlors, And Their Cultured Daughters Would Learn To Play. It's Got Such A Strange History. But That Wasn't The Context That I Learned It In, So The Inherent Friction Between That History And The More Humanist Folk-y History Wasn't In My Conscience At All.

I Have A Voice That's Obviously Untrained - And I Think Untrainable - So I Kind Of Secreted It Away For A Long Time. Actually, I Would Write Songs With Lyrics When I Was Younger, But I Would Just Sing In My Head.

I Had Known That People Would Probably Have Strange Reactions To My Voice, Because I Have Kind Of An Unwieldy, Difficult Voice, But I Never Thought That Anybody Would Have A Problem With The Harp. I Just Assumed... C'mon, It's A Beautiful Instrument.
