Welcome to my world

The music of language and the language of music

As long as I can remember my life has revolved around two things: the written word and the sound of music.  I've used these two media as the means to explore and understand the world around me --- and in the tradition of the Celtic bard, I've become not only a product, but a walking encyclopedia if you will, of my culture and its history, its forms and functions, its triumphs and its shortcomings.

A bard's life.  Finding and exploring the soundtrack to my life, and of others who I find along the way.  The purpose of this site is to document, to analyze, to map out in some way that great journey to find out.
