During her years of travel and performance on the Queen Elizabeth 11, the Royal Viking Sun and the Crystal Cruise Ships, Lois would visit music stores and began her research and collection of Celtic music. This lovely CD, "Monica's Wedding" A Treasure Of Celtic Wedding Music, was inspired by a performance at a Celtic Wedding. It was Lois' challenge to arrange and record the entire CD on a 26 string folk harp.

There is a harp book of "Monica's Wedding: A Treasure of Celtic Wedding Music . Included in this lovely Celtic collection are the original keys with a supplemental section in the recorded keys so that you can play along with Lois.
