In the Beginning
This is when I first started learning how to play the harp!
The Sacred Circle Retreat in Sky Valley, Georgia in September 2024
My first harp performance took place at The Sacred Circle Retreat in September 2024 in Sky Valley, Georgia. The retreat was put on by my yoga teacher, Christina Maffia.

Me and my harp when I am on the road!
Echoes of the Soul: A Harp and Sound Journey, 17 November 2024
The Harp and Sound Journey is a transformative journey that combines the resonance of the harp along with the healing power of sound utilizing sound bowls at dfferent sound frequencies that is meant to restore balance and well-being. The session begins with journaling (writing answers to questions in a journal) followed by guided meditation which leads into the vibrations of the singing bowls followed by the gentle and melodic sounds of the harp.

The Florida Railroad Museum's North Pole Express
The Florida Railroad Museum offers train rides throughout the year (excluding the weeks of Christmas and New Years as well as Easter Sunday when the museum takes a break). Regular train rides are offered as well as themed train rides offered at various times throughout the year. Among the themed train rides the Florida Railroad Museum offers includes Hole In The Head Gang Train Robbery, Hobo Campfire Cookout, Murder Mystery Express, Day Out With Thomas, Peter Cottontail Express, Pumpkin Patch Express, Von Kessinger's Express (a World War II reenactment) as well as the Christmas themed North Pole Express, the museum's most attended event.
The Florida Railroad Museum operates on 6.5 miles of track between Parrish and Willow in Manatee County, on track owned by Florida Power & Light as access to the nearby power plant in Parrish had to be kept. The line was laid in 1903 by Seaboard Air Line (which was the Florida and West Indies Steamship Company, a predecessor to SAL) and the line you are riding on used to carry passenger trains including the section of the Silver Meteor between Tampa and Venice. Upon the ACL-SAL merger into Seaboard Coast Line (SCL) in 1967 and the subsequent takeover of passenger service by Amtrak in 1971, SCL - later becoming today's CSX in 1986 - favored the other rail route paralleling US 41 and began to abandon the route through Willow and Parrish but a good section of the route was saved. Today the line the Florida Railroad Museum runs on is connected to the North American railroad network via a connection to CSX in Palmetto.
I had the privilege and honor of playing my harp during the Florida Railroad Museum's North Pole Express over at the entertainment pavilion in the Willow Yard, which has been transformed into the North Pole for the Christmas event. Here you will see me playing my harp as part of the Christmas event on select nights. My harp performances were well received by all in attendance.
The Florida Railroad Museum website has more information on the North Pole Express and the many other events that take place throughout the year including my other favorite event that takes place in March, which is Day Out With Thomas. I also have a description of the Florida Railroad Museum over at my website, EdwardRingwald.com.
