My Musical History
I love music! I practice at home at least 15-30 minutes every day, and sometimes as much as 2 hours. And I have played a lot with various musical friends over the years. However, although I've played out a few times and have written a lot of songs, I
am an amateur musician.
However, I have entertained the crowds many, many times before, during, and after concerts with Stiltwalking "walk-around" entertainment and/or one of my unique shows at a wide variety of musical events, with numerous past performances in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and Pennsylvania.
I've
opened for Tom Paxton and Tom Chapin at John M. Green Hall in Northampton MA. I've opened for various musicians at "Concerts on the Grass" (19x) in Bellingham MA, "Concerts on the Beach" in Mendon MA, the Full Moon Coffeehouse in Wendell MA, Common Ground Cafe & Performance Space in Bryn Athyn PA, as well as during concerts by the Lil Cajun Express at the Look Park Garden House and the Ginger Ninjas bike-powered concert, both in Northampton MA. I've entertained at numerous music festivals including
the Bright Moments Jazz Festival (8x) in Amherst MA, Schleigho's "Ho Down" camp-out
music festival (5x) in Wendell MA, the Charlemont Reggae Festival (4x) in Charlemont MA, "The Big
Squeeze" bluegrass festival (2x) in Hardwick MA, Hot Food/Hot Jazz Fest (2x) in Northampton MA, Lakeville Arts & Music Festival (3x) in Lakeville MA, Max Creek's
"Camp Creek" music camp-out music festival in Mariaville NY, Moon Boot Lovers' "Boot Camp" camp-out music festival in Parksville NY, and the Norfolk Chamber Music
Festival in Norfolk CT.
One of the reasons I love entertaining at musical events so much is that music is such a big part of my life. I first started playing piano at age 7 and am self-taught on that instrument. I started trombone lessons in 3rd grade. I picked up guitar at age 13. In college I bought an upright bass — which has always been my favorite instrument. As a young adult, I discovered that I have some sort of innate talent to learn to play pretty much any instrument I pick up and I've been picking up instruments ever since. Some of them, I even play well!
I now have a large, very well-stocked Music Room in my home where I keep the hundreds of instruments I've acquired over the years, including my father's piano (the same one I learned on at age 7), acoustic guitars, upright bass, trombone, trumpet, clarinet, wooden flutes, piccolo, my granddad's mandolin, ukuleles, my father's baritone uke, balalaika (the first instrument I ever bought), harmonicas, pan pipes, recorders, slide whistles, ocarinas, accordions (yes, plural!), gut bucket, a variety of small drums, and an entire wall of open cubbies containing a large assortment of smaller instruments such as claves, maracas, finger cymbals, toy xylophones, guiro, cow bell, slide whistles, kazoos, tambourines, castanets, samba whistles, nose flutes, den-dens, ratchets, egg shakers, jaw harp, rain sticks, kalimba, thunder tube, pellet drums, rakataks, sand blocks, and oh so much more.
I've also jammed (not performed!) with lots of professional musicians including Charles Neville of the Neville Brothers, Rusted Root, J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., Goki Bi System, Will Brown, Tony Vacca, Tim Moran, Wil Lettman, Kim Zombik, Gaia Roots, Brian Bender, Ken Laroche of Do'ah: World Music Ensemble, Kalpana Devi of the Black Rebels, Karl Ferret, Ron Freshley, Matt Herschler, Mark Herschler, Lynn Lovell, Tim Van Egmond, Moonlight & Morningstar, Star Drooker, Celia, John Sprague, Miro Sprague, Adam Rothberg, Peter Jones, Nancy Rockland-Miller, Jay Mankita, Doug Hewitt, John Porcino, Robby Roiter, Matthew Liston, Joshua Crane, Mark Fox, and a whole host of others I can't remember right now.
In November of 2021, I joined the Town Common Singers in Montague MA, a group that sings a cappella for an hour on the town common at 2:00 every day no matter what. It's a leaderless group of about 50 people that, on any given day, somewhere between 5 and 35 singers show up. Nobody is there every day, but every single day since 3/18/20, whoever shows up sings. Every. Single. Day. This group got me back into songwriting after a slow down of nearly 25 years, and is the direct inspiration of 6 new songs so far.
In January of 2025, I started performing my own tunes at open mikes at least once a week, often twice a week. The only time I miss a week is when I have a show or am out of town. So I've slowly been working my way through the nearly 100 songs I've written since my very first one in 1974 at age 18.
Here's one of my songs:
