Seattle has a lot of good music going on - here are some schedules - and Shelly and I enjoy attending concerts in the area.

I'm a member of the concert committee of the Seattle Folklore Society. Shelly and I produced a CD of local artists for SFS, called A Musical Doorway. It was released in April, 2001.

I'm a folk DJ on KBCS, 91.3 FM, Bellevue/Seattle. My show is called "Lunch With Folks" and it's all folk music, mostly contemporary folk, from artists like the Duhks, Greg Brown, Tom Russell, the Wailin' Jennys, Eliza Gilkyson, and so on. LWF is on every weekday from noon to 3pm. I'm the Tuesday host. I submit my playlists to the FOLKDJ-L Internet mailing list. I also wrote a computer program which compiles the top CDs by airplay, as determined by playlists posted to this group. Archives of my folk charts are here. Also, see my song theme lists.

If you've got a folk CD you'd like played, you can send it to the Music Director at KBCS. I can't promise anything, but it will be reviewed and considered for addition to the station library.

I have played acoustic fingerpicking guitar for over 35 years now. I'm not a professional - I play mostly for my own enjoyment. I sing and play various instruments with the Happy Campers.

I've attended the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop many times. Shelly likes it too - and she hardly plays the guitar! It's a great getaway - just devote yourself to your picking for a whole week. Great event, great folks - do it!

Lately I've taken up the ukulele. I have a 4-string tenor Kamaka ukulele. I play with the Seattle Ukulele Players' Association. Visit my page of ukulele tab links.
