“I may stand still, but my soul can dance—on 36 strings; 36 strings, held to my heart” —Barbara Dace, “36 Strings”

Grand Prize Winner, Autoharp Quarterly’s 25th Anniversary Autoharp Songwriting Contest with her homage to her first autoharp, “36 Strings” (http://www.daigleharp.com/Music/36%20Strings%20(v2).mp3), Barbara originally picked up the autoharp later in life, as a simple way to accompany herself while singing, and has been writing and singing her own songs ever since.
