A mucker-about on various instruments*, formerly living in Portland** but relocated to Boston*** as of last summer. Well, Somerville, anyway. Close enough. Play in Cambridge and Dorchester sometimes
* Which ones? Lately lots of button box - B/C - and some whistle, harmonica, and guitar. Occasionally bouzouki and tenor banjo and mandolin. Baglama and tsouras in alternate leap years.
**The one with the volcano, that's which Portland. The one with the roses and the coffee and the beer and no pizza worth a damn.
*** Did you know that Portland - the one with the volcano - would have been called Boston if the coin had come up the other way? True story...
