aka
Mermaid Morrigan
Welcome to Mermaid Mansion, the home of Cindy Rhodes aka Mermaid Morrigan!
Cindy is an accomplished musician & award-winning artist living in beautiful coastal North Carolina. With her classical training & performance experience, she now uses her talent to compose & perform her original compositions for the piano & hammered dulcimer. Combining the grounded tones of the piano & the airborne tones of the dulcimer, she creates what she calls "mermaid music," an ethereal concoction of soundwaves that places the listener into her meditative mermaid world. Currently, she is completing a new CD to be called "Mermaid's Blessings!"
I love
POPLAR GROVE PLANTATION!
Every Wednesday
from 8 til 1,
the Farmer's Market at Poplar Grove Plantation
promises the best of eastern North Carolina! I'll be there every Wednesday, rain or shine, to bring the beauty of the hammered dulcimer to all my eastern NC neighbors!

Please...
PRAY for our oceans.
I was born on the Gulf of Mexico (Biloxi, Mississippi), and I am a southern mermaid. Even as a 4-year-old, I had connections to the waters of this planet, and I have come to live where my granny taught me to fish. (Now, when we go out, I end up FEEDING them instead, with them actually eating from my hands.) When my husband Pirate Sam and I traveled to Alaska last year, the great water goddess Sedna met with me thru every drop of water that we crossed. Upon reaching Beluga Point in southern Alaska, she met me with a stream of more than twenty beluga whales. She'd never left me during the overland travel and she had never stopped loving me, nor I, her.
The condition of our earth's waters perfectly reflect the condition of the spirit of the earth's peoples. Why has an effective section of humanity become so dirty, so uncaring, so reckless? I hope that my music will stir the hearts of all who listen, stir them up to LOVE our oceans and care for them. I know that it will strengthen those of us
who care so much already.
Sedna and I appreciate
all your good energy.
