Elijah WaldWriter, Musician

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 pages 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 rare blues, African acoustic guitar, and the Bahamian Blind Blake. There is a page of biographical information, a Josh White photo archive and 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...
