Mel Bay Presents Exploring the Folk Harp
Mallory Geller and Janna McCall Geller, "Mallory & McCall," have been featured together as entertainers (and husband and wife) since 1973. Although they currently devote much of their performing to folk harp and vocals, they have explored many aspects of music, writing and theater. For 14 years they wrote, produced and acted The Janus Company Radio Theatre, broadcast live weekly in Los Angeles. A sharp eye might discover them in the guise of various historical and fictional characters, including Mr. and Mrs. Dickens and Queen Victoria and her equerry, or in Renaissance garb playing and singing and giving "Phree harpe lessons" to all takers at fairs and musical events. They can also be found in and around the Southern California area playing and singing in a wide range of styles: folk to Irish to Broadway, with a lot in between. In addition, they are freelance writers with experience in just about everything from newspaper reporting to poetry. Janna's background is in music and performing. She majored in music composition and arranging at Los Angeles Valley College and UCLA. She went on to become an entertainer in clubs, musical theater, and comedy. She has written music for broadcast, stage and even King Henry VIII (now ruling in Fresno, California.) Mallory is an authentic ex-Greenwich Village poet whose current specialty is singing everything from Gilbert & Sullivan to Simon and Garfunkel. He has appeared off Broadway, worked in television production and is a Craftsman member of the Piano Technician's Guild.
