A six-minute concert

Jan 31, 2025
Megan, who handles my publicity these days, was recently asked if she had a sampler video with clips of different songs that might give a sense of what my music is like, and how a concert might feel. We chopped this together, and I thought some other folks might like to see it, too. So […]

Box Sets back in stock

May 14, 2015
After a bit of time revising and updating the content on the USB box sets, we are happy to report that they are back in stock. These digital box sets contain… well, pretty much everything I’ve ever done.  High quality MP3 versions of all eleven CDs (including liner notes, and my very first recording, Barefoot, […]

What I Learned From Pete Seeger

Jan 28, 2014
It’s late Monday night and I’m staying up by the wood stove trying to catch up on some work.  Or at least I was. My plans for the night just changed.  A few minutes ago I received a note from my friend Laura saying that Pete Seeger left us about an hour ago.  Apparently the […]

Peace, Perigrinations, and Pete Seeger

Aug 8, 2011
Greetings from Holden Beach, NC, where I’m spending a few days with most of my family celebrating my Dad’s eightieth trip around the sun. Mason and Deanna are napping, so I thought I would take a few minutes to write a quick update. When they wake up, it will be time to teach Mason how […]

A Taste of My Old Life

Mar 26, 2009
From random blog photos Let your voice ring back my memories

Words and Music

Nov 28, 2008
A couple of things have popped up from unexpected sources that I thought folks might like to be aware of. The ‘words’ part has to do with a couple of articles; one is in the Mountain Xpress, Asheville’s indie newspaper. It’s written by Jason Bugg, who called to interview me a couple of weeks ago. […]

This American Life

St. Petersburg, Florida Wow!  So this is cool… MJ got an email today from This American Life and they want to license my song Ten and a Half for use on their TV show on Showtime. This American Life is some of the smartest and most fascinating stuff being broadcast these days, and I’m just […]
