A Bit About Me
Writing folk songs means writing stories with a guitar instead of a reporter's laptop (like I did in my first career).

A Bit About Me
Songwriting and performing have led to folk music CDs including "Letting Go" in 2009 and "Love is Hard" in 2010. A new disc and digital downloads are in the works. Gigs featuring my folk songs range from the Hygienic Acoustic Festival in New London CT to a songwriter in the round show at Stage 33 Live in Bellows Falls, VT.

A love of songwriting and performing first grew from a reverence for poets John Keats, Adrienne Rich and W.H. Auden, then led to scrutiny of the lyrical power and showmanship of folk music legends Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens and Tracy Chapman. My best news articles, also available here, helped shape my social awareness, one that the folk music tradition celebrates. It feels amazing to share my folk songs on this magical continuum of history.
