About Me
For decades, I've documented the work of Pete Seeger, resulting in How Can I Keep From Singing? The Ballad of Pete Seeger, published by McGraw Hill in 1981 and revised, updated, and republished by Villard/Random House, 2008.
Having written ten volumes of history and biography, my specialty is the presentation of folklore, literature, and history via broadcasting. I've been active in radio since 1972, but over the last dozen years I've been Executive Producer of award-winning national radio series for Public Radio International, including “Writing the Southwest” (1995); “Aldous Huxley's Brave New Worlds” (1998); “Across the Tracks: A Route 66 Story” (2001); and Pete Seeger: How Can I Keep From Singing? (2008). I have produced for Radio New Zealand, Danish Radio, and BBC World Service. I'm currently a DJ for KUNM-FM and a professor at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. I'm now in the process of writing the first book on both the history and experience of wearing glasses and contact lenses.
