I’m a visual artist but also a musician. I’ve been that way from the campfire songs of childhood through pop music of the ‘50s, rock ‘n’ roll, the Great Campus Folksong Revival, authentic old-time string bands, more rock, Punk, New Wave, electronic, and back to old-time, always with a near-synesthetic emotional involvement. I play fiddle, guitar, banjo, diatonic button accordion, and concertina. I have performed in public since my high-school stage debut in 1957. I’ve fronted several bands. I’ve written and composed. I’ve done multimedia art performances. And I’ve been Oregon State Champion fiddler five times.
