Livy Delafield 

Livy Delafield has played guitar, hammered dulcimer, electric keyboards and synthesizer at various events in the San Diego area. A computer programmer, Livy grew up in New Jersey and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Hofstra University. He loved the response of children to his music and enjoyed teaching several young people. Although confined to a wheel chair with a severe bone disorder, he drove a specially equipped van to play at concerts, coffee houses, benefits, weddings and other events.
