Misc Notes:  "I'm a journalist/editor/performer/composer who tries to stay busy with fiddle and mandolin gigs....Currently I play fiddle, mandolin, and tenor guitar with The Priest and the Publicans and the Coolerheads, as well as at Bethany Presbyterian Church. I also play mandocello with the Seattle Mandolin Orchestra and viola with Thalia Symphony. I've also toured a bit on fiddle with the Ric Blair Band." [Website]

MISC NOTES: "Here it is, folks—my first CD. Primarily Celtic in style, but other influences—classical, baroque, blues, and avant garde—also show up. In addition to fiddle, I play mandolin, viola, octave mandolin, mandocello, and resophonic tenor guitar, and I have some friends contributing whistle, recorder, Irish flute, uilleann pipes, bodhran, and vocals." Why would I call my first CD Notorious? Well, because it's the soundtrack to A Most Notorious Woman, a play I've been performing around the globe with playwright /actor Molly Lyons. Roughly half the pieces are my own compositions; the other half are mostly traditional tunes (or at least very old ones).
