drifting in and out of conversation.

To Alison,
The Rainbow Harpist
You have left
the rainbow,
The sun, the moon,
the stars,
so much behind you.
Until you
had gone
I did not know that you had left
the rivers, the forests,
the silences.
I did not know
I should always remember
your music in my heart.
Viva Alison,
Mucho gracias…
Peter Jacobson, Poet,

"Thank you so much for
the beautiful music you played for us on Saturday. We
know that it set the tone for our special occasion."

"luscious round-the-world
tour... rearranging folk music from around the world,
this highly skilled and whimsical woman pulls and twists
exotic rhythms from the strings"
News Leader
"The music
you played for our guests at the cocktail reception
was elegant and classy. And you made it simple for us,
Alison. I had no idea what pieces to select and I am
glad I left it up to you. Your choices were perfect!
You've obviously had lots of experience, as you coordinated
the timing of everything before, during and after the
reception and ceremony, seamlessly and without rehearsal."
