About the Author:
Alex Usher has collected and performed folk songs for over fifty years. She has amassed a treasure trove of songs that work well with children, and used them through the years to amuse her own four children (who later joined her and her husband on the stage) as well as to entertain youngsters at the St. Louis Children’s Hospital where she was the volunteer “Music Lady” in the late 1970s. In the early days of TV she was a regular performer on several children’s series on PBS Channel 9 in St. Louis. (in one she was a jack-in-the-box who popped out and did a song and a dance in each episode!) She still shares her music with her grandchildren and their classmates.

More recently she has specialized in playing the autoharp as a solo instrument. Mel Bay’s Basic Melodic Autoharp Solos is her contribution to helping folks teach themselves this art. She is a National Autoharp Champion, a four-time winner in the International Competition at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield KS, and has made several solo autoharp CDs in the last several years. Currently she does a program of folk songs called “Hand-me-down Music” for the Missouri Humanities Council, and gives many other performances, primarily in the St. Louis area.
