Introduction I've got traveling in my blood but whenever I'm in Wales I feel like I've come home...must be the ancestors calling me with those ancient tones. I was born in Binghamton, NY, and after living in Buffalo, New Hampshire, Baltimore, Alabama, Nashville, the Bahamas, Murfreesboro, and the Catskill Mountains (2nd only to Wales) I've settled for a life of traveling, observing, and documenting the lives of people whom I admire. Is there anything better than being on the Welsh moors seeing and hearing a pack of hounds in full cry?
Interests documentary photography, non-fiction writing, hearing people's stories, following the foxhunt, antiques, Sacred Harp, hiking, pony trekking, gardening, and of course....being on the road - little winding roads - stopping wherever I please.
Favorite Movies How Green Was My Valley, Being There, A Lesson Before Dying, and documentaries
Favorite Music Traditional country and bluegrass, old time, most roots music and most anything played and sung from the heart!
Favorite Books anything by Steinbeck, William Blake, Charles Kuralt, Lee Smith, Anne Tyler, Annie Proulx, Jodi Picoult, Richard Russo, Emerson, Rita Mae Brown!
