Welcome to my site. It includes a brief bio and pages about
my various books (mostly music-related, though Riding with Strangers is about
a cross-country hitchhiking trip). Also about my CD, Street
Corner Cowboys, and other writing and album projects, including
an instructional DVD on the Bahamian guitar style of Joseph
Spence and homemade CDs of blues, African
acoustic guitar, and the Bahamian
Blind Blake. There is a page of biographical information,
various blues-related pages, pages on
contemporary topical corridos, corrido censorship, and interviews with
corridistas, appreciations of my father and the Japanese singer Mikami
Kan, an archive with several dozen newspaper and magazine pieces on world and roots music among other topics,
and whatever else seemed worth putting up here... Including a page about my soon-to-be-published history of American popular music, How the Beatles Destroyed Rock 'n' Roll, with info on the book and links to relevant music, videos and old radio shows. |
