About me:

My undergraduate degree from MIT (1984) was in Humanities (course 21) - but I had concentrations in Biology, Geology, Chemistry, Math, and Physics. I have a PhD in Physics (Brandeis, 1990), and worked for 18 years at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. I now run my own business, Kalimba Magic, which educates the world about the wonders of the Kalimba, or African Thumb Piano. I publish books on playing the kalimba, record CDs, and sell the books, CDs, and kalimbas on-line. My kalimba music is ground breaking and touches the genres of Classical, Folk, Rock, Pop, and World music.

Instruments:

Kalimba, Marimbula, Sansula, Guitar, Mandolin, Mandola, Bass, Piano, Recorder, percussion, harmonica, charango, guzheng

Influences:

Well, I was influenced early on by Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead, but my music doesn't sound too much like that. I suppose I am on my own path now.
