I am a performer (especially with my wife, Maggi-- a soprano) specializing in 19th and 20th century American music --though I do play earlier and more recent music as well.

I play guitar, minstrel and other early banjos, mandolin, mandocello, Renaissance lute, cittern, and English guitar.

I am a professor in the music theory department of the Boston Conservatory.

    Hi Jim,

    Do we know each other from the ning banjo website? I play a fretless banjo, some Briggs, Converse stuff. Well, to be more accurate, I am looking onto it. I also play 19thC guitar. Recorded a piece by Fodden once. Interesting repertoire. I hope you can fill us in on early American guitar music.
    I even play the 'English guitar' - my, how similar we are!

    Nice to see you here.

    Hello Jim.
    You are mistaken, but understandably. The lyre is one I made for the'Time Team' programme base don the evidence turned up in the Prittlewell dig in 2004. It resembles the Sutton Hoo lyre in many ways. You can also hear my own programme called the Saxon Lyre broadcast on BBC Radio 4 about three years ago.
    Busy right now but will write more anon.
    Cheers,
    Z
