Editorial Reviews

About the Artist
My musical sensibilities spring from silence, from inwardly heard words and melodies, and secondarily from influences as diverse as Turlough O'Carolan, Bessie Jones, the great modern Scottish bard/player Robin Williamson, and Bob Dylan. In recent years, an increasing number of my songs have come to me in dreams. My wife and I have been gigging around Fayetteville, Arkansas for 25 years. I love to do streetsinging, benefits, house concerts, and performances at libraries and schools and churches. Lots of the time I read my poetry, accompanied by harmonium or an Indian instrument called the shruti box. Leslie & I enjoy singing acapella numbers, too. We hope to make a joyful noise and to offer folks something real and affectionate and downhome.

Product Description:
