Swallow Tail Jig on Dragon Ocarina

I had only been playing ocarina for about a year when I went to a Renaissance Fair and met Fred Harris of Dragon Ocarinas. I had the opportunity to work for him for a couple of seasons helping to sell his handmade pendant ocarinas so he could spend more time making them. It was a lot of fun, and I have lots of good memories of entertaining the people that would stop and listen. Zelda had only been out for a few years, so I would get lots of requests from kids for the Zelda songs! : )

This ocarina I'm playing is the same one that I played eight years ago, and it's one of the first pendant ocarinas in my collection.

Fred recently contacted me on Youtube, and it made me really happy to hear from him. You can find his ocarinas at:

Thanks for watching!
