I’ve been playing piano (and occasionally guitar) for New England contra dance music since the mid-seventies, primarily piano. Living in the Monadnock Region of southern New Hampshire is not a bad place to be for this: it has been my privilege to play with some of the greatest fiddlers in the country, and have drawn energy from a very vibrant dance scene. I’ve also enjoyed cultivating a modest repertoire of jazz standards.

Moving from one kind of keyboard to another: I’ve been involved with publishing since the early 1980’s. My work has included freelance writing, marketing and advertising, and circulation.

Current activities include:

• Creating and managing content for the Monadnock Folklore Society Web site.
• Web Site Development (Center Pond Communications)
• Client Services Manager for Think Services).

I’ve posted some archives of earlier writing as well.
