HISTORICAL SCHOLAR, TRADITIONAL MUSICIAN, & INSTRUMENT MAKER
This very personal site fits somewhere between the minimalist "Hi Mom!" of the camera-fixed athlete and the prolixity of an Oscar winner. This old dog is learning new tricks, the quick brown fox finally jumped over the lazy dog, the bear went over the mountain, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, and all we need is love. But you knew that already.
Entering the last, and best, half of my life I am finally reaching out to touch some. And I would like to thank all those who helped me get here. You know who you are. I have tried to bring together some of the varied strands that make up my life so far. Many people have shown interest in one or another and this is an opportunity to allow them to interact both with me and with each other.
I have been extremely fortunate to have met many wonderful fellow human beings on this planet and I love them all. I would enjoy hearing from any of them again.
This is the first page of my reconstructed websites, slowly being added at this location.
[There are additional pages in a drop-down menu, under "HOME."]
Stay tuned as I, little by little, wrestle with technology.
Eventually they will include the remaining pages of my personal site; the reappearance of my site dedicated to Fretless Banjos; and several sites presenting my researches into the musical instruments of medieval Spain as represented in the Cantigas de Santa Maria of Alfonso X, el sabio.
