| Introduction | I live on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, close to the water. I have been a freelance writer for about a year, writing about my interests and illustrating my work with my own photographs. I also write short fiction. When they will let me, I sit in on congas with a couple of local groups. I am still looking for a good teacher to help me with advanced Latin rhythms. |
