Enough of the third person, here's the rest of the interview...Band/artist history
First I was solo, then I played as half the duo Conrad and Burgess for many years. Then the restaurant where we performed got closed down by the board of health. My husband startted a jazz trio. I took up with an Irish drummer. Still married to Greg, but we no longer perform together.
We have the music of our duo The Lowlander Highlanders on Sounclick at www.soundclick.com/lowlanderhighlandersHave you performed in front of an audience?Yes, mostly I play live and as a solo fiddler or with a drummer when I appear as half of the duo the Lowlander Highlanders. We play at festivals, fairs, picnics and taverns.
Your musical influences
Fiddle and drum! The root music of the northern Appalachians with a bit of myself thrown into the mix. Tunes and style that come down to us from the Scots and the Irish.
Old time music - not bluegrass - that's different.What equipment do you use?
My fiddle, my hands and my feet.Anything else?
Please visit our duo's page at Lowlander Highlanders - we're on Soundclick, too.jklapp's station

comments on my music?Hi Beverly,
Just got a (very inexpensive) fiddle to explore and a friend sent me to your Fiddler Woman site. I'll be purchasing your lesson material and hoping to, someday, play something.
Love your music and added Danny Boy to my station, A Celtic Program. Also, I'll be adding a link to your site from iTroubador.com as a resource for some of the folks who come my way.
Best and thanks,
Dan O'DonnellHi Beverley, your music sounds GREAT!! love those old tunes, and very well played, keep it up.
