Musician and Poet, I draw inspiration for folk music and the mountains. For the past couple of decades I have focused on Irish Music and the Appalachian Mountains.
I published my first book last year: Music and Mountains, Poetry inspired by Irish Music and the Appalachian Mountains. I am in the process of creating a website, Poets-Place.Net to serve local Baltimore poets.
