Hello Friends,

For the past two weeks my family has been traveling all over the East Coast: Manchester, Montreal, Massachusetts, DC, Baltimore and Raleigh. With two little girls in tow, it has been an exhausting, whirlwind of a trip. Thankfully, because of the internet, I am still able to post these stories from wherever I may be. Last week’s episode (NM0004 – Harp) was posted from Montreal, Canada… how cool is that?!?

Speaking of cool. Wait until you see this week’s story; Instructor Rosalie James allowed me to sit in on the recital for her very fun, and very unusual class for canines and their human dance partners. With a name like, “Ballroom Dancing for Dogs” how could you not be intrigued? You can find out more information on her website at: www.DancingPaws.info

Well, another two weeks, another story posted. (Crowd goes wild!) Here on the small screen it looks so simple, doesn’t it? Truth be told it seems like a small miracle each week when I hit the “publish” button and it actually works.

Thanks for checking out this episode, I hope you’ll stick around for many more to come!

By the way, I was recently featured on my FAVORITE podcast, “Manic Mommies!” If you would like to hear the interview just visit their website at www.ManicMommies.com (or click here to go directly to that episode, which is #125 – When Manic Mommies Meet).

Sincerely,
Rosa Linda

P.S. And when I say “many more to come” I am not exaggerating. On this trip I managed to shoot several more stories. Now it’s off to edit them all!

Hello Friends,

First of all, to those of you that just discovered the New Mexicast because of the “Manic Mommies,” welcome!

For those of you that have no idea what I’m talking about, I have to share some exciting news: I was interviewed by the hosts of my favorite podcast, the Manic Mommies and am featured in this week’s episode. You can listen to the interview (and the entire episode) by clicking where it says “Rosa Linda on Manic Mommies” on the right hand side of www.Newmexicast.com

By the way, the reason they interviewed me is because I interviewed them while my family was vacationing in the Massachusetts area, so be sure to check back here to see my story about the Manic Mommies. (It won’t be the next episode, but probably the one after that.) For now, go learn more about Erin and Kristin and their AWESOME podcast “For Moms trying to do it all… and then some!” at their website: www.ManicMommies.com

Now, on to this week’s episode:

One of the best things about doing independent reporting is that I get to tell stories about people and places that I find interesting; people like the subject of this week’s episode. Harp Corrigan is a self-taught, Aeolian harp maker.

What, you ask, is an Aeolian harp? Well, the short answer is: it’s an ancient wind harp. But that explanation doesn’t do them justice. For a much more thorough explanation please visit Harp’s website at: www.HarpMaker.net

I hope you find Harp as fascinating as I did. I also hope you’ll either subscribe to this video podcast or check back here in two weeks for another edition of the New Mexicast.

Sincerely,
Rosa Linda
