One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i think it has been amazing to grow up in a family of 4 children. i love my siblings so much.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach fiddle! or a few chords on guitar, and also basic music theory if you've ever had a remote interest. i can tell you bits of the story of traditional music in the u.s., where it came from, how it got there, the people who play it, the festivals that take place...
also we can make beer bread. or other bread.
and i can share plenty of stories!
