musicology from KU. She specializes in American folk
music and is currently working on her dissertation, which examines the use of American folk music on BBC radio during the Second World War. Christy is an experienced
pianist and organist, and she has served as music director at Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church in Kansas City, Missouri and Kingston United Methodist Church in
