Welcome. I'm Ron--a librarian, naturalist, writer, craftsman, and a few other things (depending upon the day of the week and whether or not I've lost interest yet). Socially, I'm liberal, Democrat, a proud member of the ACLU, and supporter of basic human rights and those organizations that work to protect them, such as the Human Rights Commission, the Southern Poverty Law Project, Amnesty International, etc. I am an aficionado of folk music (traditional and modern) and have been in attendance at the Great American Dulcimer Convention for the past 30 years. I play the dulcimer (after a fashion; at least better than anyone else on my street!), enjoy all things Celtic, and the best of the Appalachian writers--including but not limited to:
Silas House
Julia Watts Ron Rash James Still
Sharyn McCrumb
Lee Smith
Art and music tastes are too varied to describe,
but I collect outsider and other folk (brut) art, but still love the
Music? I'll mention
Shawn Colvin, Etta James, Jallen Rix, Loudon Wainwright, Rufus
Wainwright, Evan Dando, Fairport Convention, Allison Krauss, Lonnie Mack,
Steeleye Span, Dylan, Joan Baez, Patsy Cline,
