| Bio: | This iI'm a musician, photographer, programmer, science fiction fan, medievalist, Christian mystic, and sometimes essayist, who also happens to be intergendered and suffer from fibromyalgia. Folks don't often realize how shy I can be, because they see how conspicuous I am and mistake that for fearlessness. You can learn more about me by looking at my web site, which includes a somewhat out-of-date bio that I posted to alt.transgendered many years ago (which focusses on gender issues), along with a bunch of not-about-me material that some folks have found useful (some short definitions pages folks like to link to, my descriptions of interesting musical instruments, some music tutorials, an article about cooking at Pennsic without bringing an ice-chest ... go explore!). Or you can look at my LiveJournal favourites page, where the "Myself" heading has links to posts where I talk about myself (including a "100 things about me" entry). I've also set up a LibraryThing account, so if you're feeling nosy you can peek at the wee fraction of my library that I've gotten around to cataloging there so far. I play in a couple of bands, the most significant currently being The Homespun Ceilidh Band (the unfamiliar word there is pronounced 'kay-lee'), a nine-piece pan-Celtic fiddle band with a Scottish emphasis, playing mostly dance tunes, in which I play rhythm guitar and sometimes double bass. We have released two CDs, Spinning Reels (out of print as of the most recent edit of this profile, 2007-03-02, but being remastered -- email me if you want to be notified when the new version is released -- if you're reading this close enough to the time I wrote it, you may be able to get one of the last few copies of the first version at CD Baby) and Home with the Homespun Ceilidh Band (which you can order from CD Baby or from the band's web site). I'm also a member of the band for Thrir Venstri Foetr, an English Country Dance group, where I currently play recorder and double bass. (Some of you may recall that I was once music director; I stepped down and ceded that job to ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} maugorn some time ago.) If you're within commuting distance of College Park, MD, come learn English Country Dance with us, or maybe join the band... [Note: as of 2007-03-02, we are looking for a new place to rehearse. Contact a member of the group to find out where we'll be if you think you want to join in, or if you're a former member thinking of coming back.]And I occasionally play with the Beltway Early Music Band, a mixed consort in the Washington DC area; and the Society for Early Music in Baltimore, a recorder ensemble/club. Both groups emphasize early music (i.e. Bach and earlier) but have been known to mix in a little modern music, or later folk tunes. In the past, I played drums, bass, mandolin, and guitar in the East coast band, Wild Oats (not to be confused with a West coast band of the same name), which released one CD, A Few Brief, Shining Moments, after breaking up; and I have played bass guitar for a few DC-area community-theatre groups (not recently, but I do hope to find time to get back into that again). I I'm shy, but generally friendly. If you're passing through Baltimore, pry me out of my cave so I can meet the folks who read what I write. Really. I have lots of friends, but I'm terribly about getting out to see anyone, so my social life consists almost entirely of people I rehearse and perform with.
