Music is also a large part of my life. I'm an avid fan of Celtic music, which has led me to unearth my flute from the closet after a 15 year hiatus, dust it off, and start playing again. I am also learning the Highland bagpipes, the tin whistle and the bodhran. As a member of the City of Tulsa Pipes and Drums and the German American Society's Blaskapelle, I've ended up playing everything from MacPherson's Farewell to the Chicken Dance!

The City of Tulsa Pipes and Drums at our reception -- I was out of uniform, but I played anyway.

Chris and I host the annual Tulsa Gaelic Language and Music Weekend each Fall. Here I am at the Oklahoma Scottish Festival at our booth advertising and fundraising for the Weekend event.
