On Fandalism I would be delighted to find "Kindred Spirits". Those with like minded musical Interests.

The Now Lost City Ramblers, Doc Watson and Norman Blake

I began my performing musical career with Wretched Refuse String Band in Brooklyn New York - who were rumors in their own time :)

My own band, currently, is the Joint Chiefs of Retrograss (with Howie Tarnower, Lauck Benson, Michael Bean, Mike Kenney and Lincoln Meyers). I have a duet with Marc Horowitz (The Rejewvinators), and a talented Boston based bluegrass band - (Flatt Rabbitt) . Occasionally, i play with the eclectic western swing band "Kitchen Sink" and the "Wabash Cannibals " with Geoff Bartley. From time to time I join the Tarbox Ramblers at Johnny D's in Somerville . I also lead the oldtime music jam session at the Skellig Pub, 240 Moody Street in Waltham Massachusetts (every Sunday 6-9pm) .

I would love to jam with Norman Blake. I am inspired by his songwriting ability and his intrumental prowess on guitar, mando and fiddle .
