Princess Harris

Princess Harris is not only a Kansas Talent, she's a Kansas Treasure. I don't know if she was born in Kansas, but she lives in Wichita. She has agreed to allow me to use her music for my story and I intend to talk to her about possibly even writing music specifically for it once I get it all put together with artwork and narrative. The video sampler was recorded at a meeting of the Golden Wheat Chapter of the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia (AHSGR) where Princess Harris gave a performance.

Can You Make Magic?

Do you like to draw? A few months ago I was going through my pictures when I realized that a series of pictures I took last summer would make into a wonderful children's story. I asked my little sister if she would like to draw the pictures for this and she was enthusiastic and even sent me a picture that she had done a few years ago that I transformed into this...


(This is a screen shot, so it isn't real great)


Well, life goes on... and for one reason or another sis doesn't have time to work on the story, so... I'm looking for someone interested in going forward with this project. I will be putting the story together as a video with some simple animation (moving stills) and have someone lined up to do the narrative and music by a lady that plays and composes on a hammer dulcimer. I don't know if this project has potential to make any money, I'd just like to put it together to see what we could do with it. Anyone interested?
