Finding a date for Valentine’s Day may not be easy for everyone. Especially a couple of musicians who have unusual musical tastes.

I realize this phrase doesn’t always have the purest connotations, but as a romance writer, parent, and teacher I decided to read a couple of books on the topic.… Read More...

As a musician, I have been trained ever since a very young age to rely on my ear. This skill has translated into so many areas of my life, including.

I find luthier shops to be very fascinating. They’re the string doctors of my profession. If a stringed instrument needs fixed or adjusted, this is who to visit.

I’ve visited a number of luthiers over the course of my career, and they’ve all had a big thing in common. Their shops always look like a set out of a Hoarders show!… Read More...

Several years ago, I found out that my musical heritage dates back to my Grandpa Scheer’s grandfather.

Farewell to a Legend

A legend died today, I know
It’s hard to comprehend.
That after nearly a century
Your era came to end.

You taught me how to write in verse
When I was just a girl.
The words would form within my mind
Then on the page unfurl.

Your love of music, poetry,
And all creative things,
Developed deep within your soul,
Then flew on feathered wings.
