My friends and family have finally pulled me into the 21st century, and I haven't yet become accustomed to the last half of the 20th. But it's important that we stay in touch. Especially today when it looks like we're all in for some hard travelin'.

The songs and stories of my life have always come from regular people who worked hard jobs and took on big challenges in tough times. Often enough life alone is a challenge. That's what folk songs and blues are all about. And in these uncertain days maybe my work has something to offer you.

My new record of old blues songs, A STRANGER HERE, is being well-received and I'm back touring. I'm especially looking forward to meeting up with Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, Kris Kristofferson, Joan Baez and Bruce Springsteen for Pete's 90th birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden, on May 3.

Come by and see me at one of my concerts. See what we're offering in our online Music Store which is now up and open for business. Email us your thoughts. Don't be a stranger.
