(Airdate: March 18, 2025) Maryanne interviews David Michael, Port Townsend’s own Celtic harpist. Many of us first heard David play when he was performing on either the Bainbridge Ferry or the Port Townsend ferry. Turns out friendly captains welcomed the performances. But a few were not friendly at all. David is one of those musicians who lives to play. He first found Celtic harps at a Renaissance Fair in California. He became obsessed with the instrument and taught himself. Of course, by that point he already was a singer song writer and guitarist. Like many artists or musicians there were times where he needed a “day job” to supplement his music earnings. But the gentle music of the harp is his dream.
