Musical saw player & handbell ringer. Concert musician & street musician. Played the musical saw on movies such as Megalopolis, Joker2 w/ Lady Gaga, Time Out of Mind w/ Richard Gere, HBO’s Emmy winner The Jinx, Another Earth, Dummy, etc. www.SawLady.com
I'm helping Hiroaki Hanai, a scientist in Japan who is building a robot that is learning to play the musical saw. He already achieved much more than I thought would be possible. Looking forward to seeing the robot play this: #musicalsaw
Super excited that my joining @summonersensemble.bsky.social's production of Killing an Evening with Edgar Allan Poe was announced in @playbill.com! playbill.com/article/retu...

What a fantastic surprise magician Cardone gave singer Kathy Biehl and me on musical saw: he videotaped the beginning of our act from back stage at Trav SD's #Vaudeville show in Coney Island! #musicalsaw

Busking with the musical saw in the NYC subway. Thank you Hatice Çengel for the souvenir video! #musicalsaw #busking #NYCsubway #UnionSquare
A song I'm learning 4 performance @ church. I'm grateful to Naira Sarin Jain 4 capturing the moment & showing me what I sound like w/ it so far! This song was popular in Christian Music in the 1990s. Props to anybody who recognizes it today (without me telling u what song it is)! #musicalsaw
Very sad indeed. I remember her as the nicest, kindest person to work with! Here is a photo from when I played with her for some TV event with mayor Bloomberg by City Hall. RIP Roberta ❤
Today I rang a #handbells peal at Trinity LIC in honor of their very first Sunday service, which was today (Feb.23) in 1890.
In the TV show 'Boardwalk Empire' season 3 episode 7 about 36 minutes into the episode Eli's daughter plays a saw that is later used to kill someone.
The song most listened to on my album 'Playing on the Edge' in 2024 is open.spotify.com/track/4jV2UZ... Which song on this album is your favorite? #musicalsaw #singingsaw #sawlady
And so my 5 show run at the beautiful Merchant's House Museum's 'Christmas Carol' by the @summonersensemble.bsky.social began. So very nice to see everybody again! #handbells
Isn't this the "Othello" game? I love it - used to play it a lot with my parents.
This morning, after a night of maybe 4 hours of sleep, I rang a peal at Trinity Lutheran Church's Sunday Service. Miraculously I made no mistakes even though I was basically "sleep ringing" 😀 Video coming. #handbells
Yesterday's concert at Maple Grove Cemetery. Thank you so much Arlene Calandria for these beautiful photos featuring flautist Naomi Rabinowitz, guitarist Steven Dzik and bassist Allan Goren (and of course yours truly on musical saw ). #musicalsaw
This happened in the subway. Thank you @contentworldcreatives for featuring me! www.instagram.com/p/DDHmwMbutq8/ #busking #NYCsubwaybuskers
Performance #1 of the season, 24 more to go this month. Video coming: playing #handbells at Reformed Church of Huguenot Park with pianist Suzanne Odessa
So very fun to have my first December performance be at the magical Reformed Church of Huguenot Park, ringing bells with pianist Suzanne Odessa. The smell of Advent is in the air🎄
When one is a solo bell ringer, this is what happens during December: work! Yay! On this Thanksgiving Eve, I am thankful for Decembers!🔔🔔🔔
