As a charter and active contributing member of the Capital ‘Harpers Autoharp Club, plus Autoharp Hall of Fame post-humous inductee, Michael King prepared and arranged more than a hundred handwritten songs and tunes for use by his colleagues and students. Some of Michael’s musical arrangements for autoharp are posted below, including Christmas carols that the club members have played and sung at their annual Holiday Jam in December (in six carols, with the help of CHAC-member Pete Lunt, Michael’s arrangement has been replicated by computer software in order to add more verses and supply backup chords).
