My Home Recordings

I've been playing the guitar and singing for my own amusement, and occasionally for small change, since 1957, with long stretches off.  I started up again in late 2014 and in 2016 I bought a compact digital recorder to play with in my home office/music room.  I'll post whatever isn't too bad on my music page from time to time.

My Blog, "Creating Interest"

I learned how to set up a blog at http://creatinginterest.blogspot.com in 2007. There you'll find occasional ramblings about books, music, gardens, and the museum world.
