I am proud to announce the start of a brand new Autoharp Music Tips URL. The website that has helped thousands of autoharp […]

Every year, the Austin Chronicle holds a music poll. A couple years ago, the Brobdingnagian Bards won “Best Novelty Band”. I want to win that again, but the category I have my eye on is “Best Folk Band”. We came in #2 back then. I want to hit #1. So once again, I posted my […]
