Meet Dahlia, the wonderful light of our lives:
Who am I?
~I'm an Irish whistle and bodhran player living in the Syracuse, NY area.
~I have a wonderful partner in life, David, another Irish traditional musician (fiddle, banjo, bouzouki, and guitar, among other instruments).
~I am owned by one lovely border collie/lab mix named Dahlia...pictures of our baby can be found here
~I primarily play music at Kitty Hoyne's and sometimes play out with the group An Ceol, NeidFyre, or Merry Mischief.
~David and I are on Neidfyre's latest CD, Waddles from the Sea. Check out some of the tracks on the myspace page and contact NeidFyre if you wish to order the album. You can also find it on CD Baby.
~David and I are also on Merry Mischief's latest CD, ScallyWags.
~I teach courses in music appreciation and American music at Columbia College @ Hancock Field
~I teach courses in basic music theory at Onondaga Community College
~I help out with transporting dogs from various "kill" shelters to rescue associations, foster homes, and "forever" homes -- something that gives me some "dog time" and also helps out these wonderful animals! If you're interested in getting involved in it, stop over here to check out upcoming transports.
~I'm a classically trained musician and have played clarinet for 20+ years
~I have also played recorders, crumhorns, and various other Renaissance instruments
~I'm a composer and vaguely a music theorist
~I have degrees in music theory, composition, and music history
~I am a life-long Weird Al Yankovic fan
~I'm a huge Phan
~I love to write stories, especially fanfiction based on Phantom of the Opera (also called Phanfic), though my most recent stories are in the Pirates of the Caribbean universe
~In November 2007, I "won" NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) by writing over 50,000 words in the month...a couple weeks later I completed the piece, a Pirates of the Caribbean fanfic called Retribution
~I enjoy working on my website
~I'm a bandie...still (Go Wildcats!!)
~I'm hugely obsessed with dogs and wolves and spend a lot of time reading memoirs and books about them.
