Spring, 2007
 
Thanks for visiting my web site! It now contains my current touring schedule (see tour dates).

Upcoming concerts include several in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, with my new Scottish music duo with cellist Reinmar Seidler. As the duo “New Rigged Ship,” we perform “Scottish fiddle music without a fiddle” in the unusual cello/piano combination. Critic Scott Alarik wrote in the Boston Globe about our duo: “Their sound exists where art music and tradition intermingle; their treatments of Scottish fiddle tunes are both elegant and complex, emotionally raw-boned and rippling with compositional intelligence.”

We hope to make a recording in the future. However, please don't wait for that—come out and hear us some time soon! It will be much more fun than staying at home and playing Sudoku or Boggle (speaking as a fan of both of those pasttimes). (And feel free to help us fund our recording!)
 
Reinmar and I recorded classical pieces, ‘30’s popular tunes and American anthems for Ken Burns’ upcoming documentary on World War II, airing this Fall.
 
I also perform solo concerts of vintage American music and Celtic and English traditional music. And I continue to play for English country dances with the Bare Necessities quartet. We will be touring in Scotland this July, and there is talk of an English dance week in Hawaii in March of 2008  …
 
I'd love to see you at a concert or a dance!
