Barb does a variety of music that is fun for all
ages. She accompanies
her singing on a variety of instruments that she has collected through
the years. Many of her instruments have stories behind them. (Also see
Barb's Instruments for information about her collection
of folk instruments.)
"I got my first guitar in high school. Never learned
to pick tunes. I like to play chords to accompany singing. I have
collected songs that I like for years. I have one binder that has over
1,000 songs in it. I especially like to collect fun children's songs
that remind me of camp when I was a kid.
"There is no way I can ever be an expert at all the
instruments I have. My instruments are my toys. I play them to have
fun."
Barb was a longtime member and president of Firelands Dulcimer Club
of Norwalk, Ohio.
Barb was a co-founder of the first drumming circle in Sandusky. The UU
Community Drumming Circle met for a year at the Artisans Cooperative in

of the members still get together periodically to drum for an evening.
