I am 42 years young, a native New Englander now living in York, PA, as I have since 2000.Working as a traffic/weather reporter for XM Satellite Radio in Washington, DC, as well as the Sunday night host of "Barn Burnin'," on XM-12 (X-Country), specializing in the newgrass/acoustic side of the Americana format.I play guitar, bass, djembe and sing in a mostly original duo called Ahltyrra with my partner Beth Sims (www.myspace.com/ahltyrra) -- we've been collaborating and occasionally performing since early 2006.My second major project is literary: I have written a fiction series to be called the "Sweet Dreams Series." All five books are full-length novels that include minimal sci-fi, fantasy and an examination of American music forms (the fourth and fifth books are now in the rough editing stages).My aim is to put this out in book form, along with a graphic novel version, with possible companion CDs that will turn on readers to music they may not be totally familiar with.
