"The Song Lingers On"
Skye received a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts to give twelve Harp-and-Song solo performances throughout the state in the Spring of 2006. Each of the twelve concerts had a different focus, but all explored the memorable songs created during the first half of the twentieth century that are collectively known as the Great American Songbook. The concerts, according to the grant, took place in four libraries and eight senior centers around Rhode Island.
