#261 David Michael – Celtic Harpist

(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.

County Connections

(Airdate: March 14, 2025) This week on County Connections Jim Burke and co-host Heather Dudley-Nollette welcome the new Jefferson County Sheriff (since January of this year) Andy Pernsteiner. They talk about how his elevation to sheriff came about, some of the things the sheriffs department does and an especially interesting look at a virtual reality (VR) training tool the department uses to train deputies to defuse and help someone find services; or if the scenario escalates, when non-lethal and deadly force is warranted. The public can join in dialog with the Sheriffs Department by going to a Citizen’s Advisory Committee meeting (more info at https://www.co.jefferson.wa.us/1210/Citizens-Advisory-Committee).
