Help the Harp Maker move back to California
November 10, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
With Obama getting elected, at least there’s hope.
But with the economy like it is, a lot of us need to work together
and help each other out. To me the SCA and RenFaire Folk have always been like a big, crazy, affectionate Family So I’m turning to you for help.
Maybe some of you remember me…
In the SCA I’ve been Lord Muis the Insane for 35 years. At Renaissance Faires I made and sold Harps, dulcimers, doorharps, etc for almost 25 years as DREAMSINGER HARPS. Website: http://dreamsingerh
but ended up with a lot of Credit Card Debt So I had to stop making Harps and spent 3 years as a Truck driver. (for reasons I won’t go into I can’t drive Trucks for a while) So right now I’m making some wire strung Harps and putting them on eBay. (my eBay persona is Magicharps)
This is NOT an advertisement (well, a little maybe)
THIS IS WHAT I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME WITH
I’m moving back to Southern California (huzzah!) to start a new
chapter, and live with my 92 year old Mother.
BUT I HAVE NO PLACE FOR ME TO SET UP SHOP!
I need help getting work or starting up my Harp Making business again.
I have no money, no assets other than my woodworking tools and skills.
Maybe you or someone you know has always wanted to make instruments,
or maybe you or someone you know wants to make a living doing
Renaissance Faires and need a business/partner/
Perhaps there’s an instrument or cabinet maker who can use an
experienced assistant or partner.
Or a renaissance faire craftsman (I don’t have to make instruments)
Or even someone with a wood shop who can let me use one corner in
return for a percentage. Or even a mostly empty 2 car garage.
Any place within an hour’s drive of North Long Beach, (Lakewood)
I may not have a place to put my tools, so I might have to leave a
lot of them behind if I don’t know in advance there’s room for them
somewhere.
If you’d like to help, or know someone, or want to buy a Doorharp for
xmas, please write me at dreamsinger@joimail.com
