I’ve been playing piano (and occasionally guitar) for New England contra dance music since the mid-seventies. 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 I’m energized by a very vibrant dance scene. I’ve also enjoyed cultivating a modest repertoire of jazz standards which get brought out occasionally for swing dances, weddings, and parties.
It was my great honor to play with fiddler Kerry Elkin in the band Fresh Fish from the mid eighties to the mid nineties.
