| | Harriet Ames Teach Me To Fly CD Harriet Ames Discography of CDs
Harriet’s songs will touch you, make you laugh, and maybe even make you cry. They will definitely lift you up and make your spirit fly. Some are soft and tender, and inspiring; some are funny. All are full of insight into what matters most. Harriet’s soaring vocals and heartfelt delivery will take you to new places in your heart….or help you revisit some of your favorite memories, because she’s been there too.Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Harriet grew up near Seattle, Washington. She started writing songs around the age of seven. Where other children might have written in their diaries, Harriet wrote songs about the rites of passage through childhood. College and marriage took her away to California, Oregon, and Colorado. And 15 years later, she finally made her way back to the Olympic Peninsula, just to the west of her old home in Seattle. For 14 years, she was a regular at the highly popular Seabold Second Saturday open mic, along with a few others open mics on the west edge of Puget Sound.Much of that time she spent working with her husband as co-owners of Skunk Bay Mushroom Farm. But after 10 years… they shut down the farm and moved on to Texas, where Harriet was finally able to start making plans for her first CD.Excellently produced by Mike Dunbar, in Nashville, Teach Me to Fly is surely the first of several CDs to come from Harriet.Highlights include 2002 Just Plain Folks Best Lyric Nominee Teach Me To Fly, 2004 Just Plain Folks Best Lyric Nominee I Won’t Be Here Long, both anthems for the dreamers in all of us… and of course the totally irreverent send-up to “Mr. Ego Himself” Last Man On Earth.

Though I didn't know it at the time, I grew up in an early form of a counter culture family in the Catskill Mountains, where there were nearly weekly get-togethers of musicians playing old popular tunes from the thirties, forties and earlier: Stardust Melody, Up A Lazy River, Summertime, St. Louis Woman, and others. I had piano lessons off and on from age five; boogie-woogie was popular with my dad, still is, so I learned a bit of that to play for him, still do; I particularly like Pete Johnson; never was crazy about ragtime. Then in high school, I listened to my brothers surf and pop band practicing in the living room at least once a week; I don't know how my parents put up with it. The only complaint of any consequence was the oil stain left on the beige carpet by the bass drum pedal; mom didn't like that. Not long after that I was in my own bands. I got my first guitars in 1966, a big year for me in a lot of ways, first loves and all. I learned a lot from the golden Beatles song books. Anyway my bands were doing top forty covers for the next years through high school; I was shamelessly entranced by big hits; My father bought me my first Jimi Hendrix record because he liked The Wind Cries Mary; I thought he was weird at first, but for some reason I felt I had to be able to do what he was doing, even though I didn't have a clue to where he was coming from; I'm still working on that one. Then, I was competitive about it; now it's a great love, and some part of almost everything I do on guitar. At Marlboro, Blanche Moyse, of course, was a huge influence: her love and illumination of J. S. Bach, her patience as a teacher, clarification of what harmony was all about; but mostly she taught me to give myself a chance, have patience with my own process of learning, how to practice any instrument or course of action.I used the stuff I learned from Bach when I was playing country and western 6 nights a week, 5 hours a night, for a living when I was in Colorado in the early 80's. A lot was learned from doing George Jones, Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Marty Robbins, Ricky Skaggs, Earnest Tubb, Bob Wills, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and others from ...

If Tori Amos sat down and covered Counting Crows songs, you would hear something similar to Kansas City’s far beyond frail – a pseudo-alternative, folk-tinged, indie-pop duo that combines edgy love songs with stunning female vocals to create music that ranges from breathy and playful to moody and daring.Formed in 2002 on Martha’s Vineyard, a tiny island sleeping off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, far beyond frail is the creative pairing of vocalist Sharlynn Verner and songwriter David Cecil. “I was looking for a singer to demo a few songs in the studio, and even though I hadn’t heard Sharlynn sing, she had mentioned that her favorite band was Counting Crows. So, I figured she wouldn’t have a problem singing my way-too-emotional lyrics,” David says, laughing. Their first record, entitled The Vineyard EP, documented the songs that were written and recorded during this formative period on Martha’s Vineyard, and the connection was apparent almost immediately. David recalls, “My first impression was that she was just really, really loud. But my second impression was that she was one of the best singers I’d ever heard.”In 2004, the band moved west to Kansas City, Missouri, and began a period of incessant touring and prolific output that is still continuing today. Having toured through over 40 states in the last year alone, far beyond frail has become known for live shows that elevate their music to an entirely different level. While praising a recent performance, HeyRegion.com writes, "Dark, romantic lyrics over layers of guitar and keyboard - the Kansas City duo’s set was a memorable, audience-hushing spellbinder." Omaha City Weekly agreed, writing, “Kansas City’s far beyond frail return to Omaha after a head-turning performance earlier this year. They show the promise of a national breakthrough." ...
