About Me

I am mostly a solo musician (hammered dulcimer), but have played with various local bands, musicians and a few bellydance groups. For lack of a better term, I guess you can say I play "world music."

Something Special

This last Sunday I got to see something really cool: my wife's very first dance choreography. It was a rough version of it, but I was so amazed and so excited about this. She has come a long way since...
