Although
involved in the recording business in one way or another
for almost 30 years, it is only over the past six years
that we have actively sought to record other musicians.
One of the reasons we made the “great remove” to
rural Greencastle, PA was to create a space that would
be comfortable, inviting and supportive in the making of
self-produced CDs. We are extremely grateful to the many
musicians who have entrusted their projects to us and who
have given us many hours of pleasure in return. This Basement
Music Sampler is a selection of one tune from the
major projects we’ve recorded since moving to Greencastle.
For some we have been responsible for all aspects of the
product – recording, editing, mixing, mastering,
graphics, serving as back-up musicians and even producers.
For others, our roles were limited to engineering and playing
backup as noted in the song descriptions. If you enjoy
one or more of these cuts, be sure to contact the artist
and order their CD. Tell them that we sent you!

Mary Lou Orthey |

Mary Lou
Orthey was a significant figure in the autoharp revival of
the past 40 years. She helped to start the Mountain Laurel
Autoharp Gathering and the Autoharp Hall of Fame. She was
an encouraging influence on a great many of today's best
players. A scholarship fund has been created to honor her
memory and the many contributions she made to the autoharp
community. The purpose of the fund is to promote the development
and growth of the autoharp by providing financial assistance

to the Gathering. This is focused on, but not limited to,
young people who do not have independent means and other
deserving candidates. |

Patsy Stoneman |
 |
Patsy says "The
Stoneman's and Stoneman groups have been around playing music
for over 100 years. The autoharp has been in their families
too all that time. I think Daddy was the first one to take
it real serious though and go to New York with it. He had
lots of nerve. And since that time, I've kept it as much
as I could since Daddy passed away. You have it in your home
now and I hope you enjoy it ... every bit of it." |

Strike the Harp - An Autoharp Celebration |
|
|
In 1992, a band of technologically competent autoharp enthusiasts established an internet-based discussion group that they whimsically dubbed "The Cyberpluckers." As the internet became more universally accessible, the group thrived, drawing autoharpers from ages 18 to 90 and sparking discussion on everything from finger picks and technique to festivals and performance anxiety.
In 2009, The Cyberpluckers produced a double CD compilation of 47 different artists and bands, all acoustic but each with a unique style from classical to rock 'n roll. And every track includes autoharp.
Neal & Coleen do "Blue Christmas" as their contribution. $20.00
