I play a lot of Appalachian Old Time music and have been to a lot of camps and festivals such as Clifftop, Mt Airy, Mars Hill, Allegheny Echoes (where I took a class with Jake Krack), Ashokan (where I took classes with Jay Ungar and Rayna Gellert),Mars Hill (where I took classes with Emily Schaad and Mick Kinney), Maine Fiddle Camp (Ed Perlman, Eric Favreau and Farank Ferrel), Old Songs Festival (Pascal Gemme), Swannanoa, Galax, etc. But I also love old New England tunes,
Quebecois fiddling, and all varieties of fiddling from before the days of radio and TV. I haave taught workshops on fiddling at the New England Folk Festival, Fiddle Hell, New England Fiddle Festival, andfor several fiddle clubs.
Since I retired I have spent a lot of winter time in Arizona, and I have gotten interested
in early Arizona fiddlers such as KC Kartchner and Viola Ruth. I have played at a
lot of dances - quadrilles, contras, waltzes and couple dances.. It's all good.
