I'm currently taking a sabbatical from full time work, living in Philadelphia, and musing on
what's next. Some recent pictorial highlights include the great Beatles Contra Dance in
Maine, my Winter at Cobb
Hill, my Summer 2007
Travels, and the ever-impressive Lake
Michigan.
Online evidence of my software career include Vocola (which helps control computers by
voice), sites like Print My Bumper Sticker
(which use Pageflex software), and a song about fonts.
Many weekends find me traveling to call and play fiddle for contra
dances, a source of great pleasure and friends. Here is a schedule of upcoming calling dates and recent calling dates.
Some may also know me as a dance composer; here are some of my dances
that have avoided the scrap heap. One of these days I will surely publish a book of
dances, but until then publishing online is hard to beat. Click to browse, or see
them all on one page. A recent enthusiasm is squantras and contrares.
A few of my fiddle tunes are at large in the world. Here are the good ones,
in ABC format or in PDF. The jigs are Indian Point and
Willow's; the reels are History Reel,
Perigord, The Plank House, and Pleasant Street (with Mike
Bell).
(Chris Walshaw's ABC Home Page describes this simple and widely used format for sharing tunes. You can search for tunes with John Chambers' amazing Tune Finder or listen and print notation with the Tune-O-Tron Converter from Concertina.net.)

I'm proud to have founded the Commonwealth Morris Men, an inspired bunch of guys who can jump pretty high all at the same time. Other Morris and rapper teams I've danced with include New Haven Morris and Sword, Greenwich Guard, and Minnesota Traditional Morris. |
