Julie Arnold
I have performed with other musicians (fiddlers, whistlers, string bass and guitar players, other dulcimists) in a variety of settings, including art shows, folk festivals, and fund-raising benefits. Most often we perform for fun, not for profit. I am currently the organizer/host of a Celtic jam session that meets in a pub on Thursday evenings in Alma, Michigan.
