I'm a retired teacher at Springfield College in Illinois (now Benedictine University Springfield), a volunteer interpreter and amateur musician at Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site and an oral history editor and docent at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. I maintain two blogs. Hogfiddle has notes and instructional material for my workshops on Appalachian dulcimers - aka "hogfiddles" - as well as notes on folklore and cultural studies; folk hymnody; and traditional Anglo-Celtic and Scandinavian music. I also posted assignments and readings in my humanities classes at SCI to Hogfiddle. On my other blog, The Mackerel Wrapper, I post assignments for my journalism students, as well as links and comment about newspapering and mass communications.
