I am looking to work with other "mature" musicians who are interested in exploring folk, bluegrass and blues music with trad and unusual instruments. Besides the list above, I play mountain and hammer dulcimer, plucked and bowed psaltery, bouzouki, MacArthur Harp and a score of other instruments. My dream group or partnership would be with people who want to perform EVERYTHING from 14th Century folk genre music to Maddy Prior/Carnival Band stuff. That said, I'm open to just working with other musicians. I'm happiest ADDING to your music (e.g. more interested in accompanying than spotlighting). I also write music and have produced a CD in the States before moving to Canada.
