I retired about a year ago after teaching English at Lane Community College, Eugene, Oregon, for twenty-five years. Now I'm doing full-time the things I used to do once in awhile: I play fiddle for Scottish dance events and contra dances, do music for theatre-"live sound track"-and teach fiddle workshops and private students. And I'm learning to play the harp. My cat is named for an Irish popular song-"Sweet Rosie O'Grady."
