Music, Movies, and Books

Don't have a TV, but books and music are particular loves of mine. I am especially into all sorts of American roots music, from Appalachian stringband music to New Orleans jazz.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Synchronous fireflies in Great Smoky Mountains NP. It was one of those right-time, right-place happenstances, since it only happens in that area for one week out of the year. I had no idea what to think when the entire forest was lit up just after dusk by what looked like a bazillion fairies blinking together.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach yoga, guitar, Appalachian old time fiddle, singing, local nature. I always love learning more music -- banjo licks, fiddle tunes, swing songs, and jazzy chords on the guitar. And, I love learning new plants, especially edibles.
