I recently made the decision to "do more" with my music, seeking to play at a wider variety of venues, for more people, and working with promoters and producers for the first time. I welcome anyone who is interested in having me play anywhere, and as my Statement of Principles
This page lists the information and resources for booking, promoting, and publicizing in a clear and simple format, with direct links to specific resources within my extensive website.

I produced a video, "Introducting The Electric Hammered Dulcimer", showing what I did to and with the traditional hammered dulcimer, developing both a modern style of playing and the 5 octave electric solid-body. I made a full 10 minute version, then cut it down to a 7.5 minute version and a 5 minute version, with progressively less background, details, and demonstration. They are available both within my webjournal as downloadable files and on YouTube as smaller-sized screen streaming versions.

I have not tried to collect reviews or recomendations, though I suppose I will as time goes on. I have collected a few, and more important to me, a collection of responses from the audience, written in an open comment book left out at performances, and also poems and even drawings and paintings, inpired by my music.
