Is there a website with the sort of music that Myleigh plays on the harp? I cannot really visualise (or is that 'auralise'?) the music but would like to know more.
I take it that most of the 'Dawnwalker' related songs are fictional, but which ones are real and can be found?
BTW I am in England and know little about the various varieties of Country/Folk that exist, especially those restricted to localised areas or subjects e.g. surfing.

A lot of Myleigh's approach to the harp was inspired by Deborah Henson-Conant. I know there are a number of videos of her to be found around YouTube, and you might want to contact her website, http://www.hipharp.com . Deborah is unique; some of her music gets pretty close to my vision of Myleigh, but she has a wide range of stuff, so some of it doesn't. In any case, she is something else and worth checking out.

Probably my favorite cut on what may be my favorite DHC album. The chick can rock it out! Shre really gets into it when she does it in person.

Well I've had a listen to some of the tracks and have to admit that the Blues are not my scene. However I did like the comedy aspects of some of the songs, and also the more 'classical' style of pieces.
I'll just leave Myleigh playing 'my' kind of music in my imagination, but I hope she keeps performing in a more 'conservative' dress than DHC!

Like I said, DHC inspired Myleigh's music but I took her off in different directions. Still, it's hard to believe that DHC is in her mid fifties!

I doubt very many of my fans look quite as good as she does.
