I am a folk musician (flute, piano, etc), a choral director, and a pretty good chef. I love to meet new people, see music/art/architecture, and i'd be glad to cook for you in exchange for a bed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When i travel, i much prefer to meet people than just to see sites. At home, i have hosted touring musicians who perform at my monthly house concert venue, for over 25 years.

Music, Movies, and Books

I perform traditional music from cultures around the world, including music from Québec, New England, Appalachia, Ireland, France, Galicia, Basque, Venezuela, Brazil, Cuba, Africa. I play piano, flute, banjo, vielle a roue.

Favorite authors include Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Joanne Harris, Colson Whitehead, Amor Towles, John LeCarre, Fredrik Backman, Mario Vargas Llosa.

Favorite movies too numerous to mention, but i particularly love screwball comedies from the 1940's, European spy movies and thrillers, stories involving time travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I founded three community choruses in the San Francisco Bay Area.
