About Me |
|
| I've been sitting around the campfire, playing folk music since I was a kid at summer camp in the late 50's and early 60's. George Britton, one of the founders of the Philadelphia Folksong Society, introduced me to folk music and taught me to play as a child. What an incredible man! Most of the music I have always loved (and still play) is from the folk revival era of the 60's. I am only a very amateur musician (in my real life I am a psychotherapist), but it's something that has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy listening to all types of folk/acoustic music, including traditional ballads, celtic, folk-revival, singer-songwriter, fingerstyle guitar, and bluegrass.My own singing/playing style tends to be folk. I am only newly dabbling in songwriting (you can listen to my meager attempts). I stopped playing for many years... too busy with work and raising family. I've raised two wonderful sons, both of whom make me very proud... have a lovely daughter-in-law... and on May 12, 2007, became a grandmother to a beautiful baby girl, Leah Victoria. Within the past few years, with the kids grown and gone, I have started picking up my guitar again, inspired by friends at my local Folk Club and by friends from RMMGA.My name, Kol Isha... it means "A Woman's Voice" (in Hebrew). It has to do with singing... but to me it is also about speaking out, social action, letting our voices be heard.I have owned and played the same guitar since I bought it in 1971... a Martin D-18. I love it and it works just fine for me. I don't get much opportunity to "play out"... just the occasional Song Swap or open mic. But I've enjoyed going to RMMGA gatherings, serving on the Board of the Broward Folk Club (as of May 2008, I am serving as President), and hosting house concerts in my home (check out my concert schedule). As a result, I have had wonderful opportunities to meet all sorts of inspirational musicians. Lucky me.On September 16, 2007... my closest friend... and biggest musical influence... Steve Glickstein, died suddenly and unexpectedly of a heart attack. I think of him and miss him every day. Please read my blog about Steve.
