ROOTS REPORT: Folk Music Heats up the Summer
Okee dokee folks … I have one foot in the modern era and another still dragging behind me in antiquity. I like the dragging foot; I am stubborn! Last month I wrote my first online column and also recorded an episode of Motif TV. I plan to TRY to keep up with contributing an online […]
Roots Report: First Official Online Column!
Okee dokee folks … This is my first “official” online column. My columns have been online, but just in versions of the print issues. This piece was written especially for the online issue. It took me a while to come around. Yeah, I am stubborn, but it is the wave of the future – actually […]

Roots Report, November 2012
Okee dokee folks…Forward. Thank you, America! So, I had a busy week of checking out shows. Trying to make up for lost time. Jesus Christ Superstar at the PVD Social Club was absolutely AMAZING!
