...way cool idea, Mick!
I play in a two girl band called The DoneyGals . The mudcat inspired our name. Sp;ecifically a thread on the meaning of the word doney which we thought had a nice double entendre meaning... Linda plays dulcimer and I play autoharp. We both sing Irish and American folk tunes and harmonize alot. Linda lived ten years in Ireland and I have been listening to and playing Irish music since the 70's. We also both play guitar. We are noodling with double psyaltery.
Since our inceptions we have played the Florida Folk Festival twice, The Barberville Festival, The Florida Old-Time Music Championship, coffee houses, parties, and sessions around the northern and middle parts of Florida. We are recording in August. Right now we are learniing new tunes and rehearsing.

When I lived in Arkansas, I played in a country band called Medicine Wheel and a bluegrass band called Mountain Valley String Band. I also played solo around the Missouri and Arkansas Ozarks. I am a member of the Rackensack Society.
Another band I have just formed is called the SpringHoppers. We convened at Ginnie Springs a few weeks back for the first time. We are a mandolin player, and a girl guitar player. We like Lucinda Williams, and old time and Irish tunes. Our goal is to play all of the Florida Springs! ...harpgirl
