Love of Music, Partner, & Bike from Gretta Stone

Gretta and Jacob Stone

Gretta Stone became a musician because she loved being part of all the folk music that many Quakers shared together when she became part of Doylestown Friends Meeting, and at one point was part of a band called Faith and Practice. Gretta's path led to various travels, including her evolution into instrumental music and sacred harp singing. The Faith and Practice band no longer exists as it has morphed, with new members, into the band Fools and Prophets. You can email Gretta Stone to get a copy of the Faith and Practice CD, Not Too Serious, and maybe it is also available at this site.

Comments

Mark is a terrific interviewer and editor, and the interview session was really enjoyable. As an untrained, nonprofessional folk musician and songwriter I never would have been able to tell my story without his skillful guidance.

I hope anyone who tunes into this interview enjoys the music as much as I enjoyed writing, singing and playing it!
