Friday Five for 15 May 2026
May. 19th, 2026 12:53 pm1. How often do you hear live music?
Every year at Renaissance Faires for 9+ weekends. Hope to go to a Renaissance Faire in a few weeks.
2. What was your favorite live musical performance ever?
A Belarusian Bagpipe band in a church in Columbia MD playing "Highway to Hell". You had to be there - LOL!
3. Do you play an instrument, or sing?
I play the violin and the piano.
4. Have you ever performed music onstage?
Yes, on violin with my high school orchestra. The pinnacle of my career as a violinist was when my high school orchestra competed in the International Youth Orchestra competition in Vienna, Austria and we came in 2nd place in the world. Woo Hoo!!

Yes, on piano. My daughter and I took lessons for a few years and our piano teacher had a yearly recital on stage at the local church.
5. Who is your favorite musician?
Don't know if I have a favorite. I love a lot of different music: classic rock, 70s guitar rock, rock and pop music from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Love classical music and some jazz, some country and some bluegrass music. And of course bagpipe music, medieval, renaissance & Celtic music at Ren Faires, Celtic festivals, and Scottish Highland Games.
