FolkLib Index - Wisconsin Harp Discography

          Discographies for Wisconsin players of Pedal, Folk and Celtic Harps. Each name entry includes the known city or cities where the artist lives or at one time lived in Wisconsin, or where the group is or was based. This information will be listed in my forthcoming book, (ca. 2028), FolkLib Index: Wisconsin Discography. -- ("Name Index - by city")
          Note: to avoid confusion with the stringed harp, the Blues harmonica is never referred to as a "harp" anywhere at the site.

              On 8-31-2001, Governor Scott McCallum and the Wisconsin state legislature named "Oh Wisconsin, Land Of My Dreams" as Wisconsin's State Ballad.
              The song is copyrighted 1993. That is the only date on the CD, but the CD was released in 1999. - Lyrics: Erma Barrett (192?), Music: Shari A. Sarazin (1993)
              with ? (The CD has no liner notes. According to her bio she only plays celtic harp, and there is no harp on this recording, so it is unknown who plays piano and percussion on the CD. Shari says they were unidentified session players from Madison. The unknown studio didn't even bother to introduce the players to her.)
