was a "Banker for 12 years in NJ then a Mother Earth News style move to rural Pennsylvania were I met and become close friends with Jehile Kirkhuff, recorded about 400 tunes of him playing for the Library of Congress, American Folk Life Center, think Alan Jabbour. Now perform on the East Coast at many events since 1981 and love this new "job". The general public LOVES this Old Time Fiddle world if and when you learn the tunes good enough to really "play with" them
Now inspired by Smokey Butler a master Old-Time Texas Fiddler. See post on this Hangout site of Smokey tunes and also Jehile Kirkhuff, Wille Jones and others
