For the last thirty years, 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 half a dozen 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'm currently a DJ for KUNM-FM and a professor at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.

I’m on the road today, in California’s great Central Valley. We had to put on the A/C because it was getting so warm.

We’ve spent several delightful days along Route 66, but now we’re heading up to San Francisco State, where I’ll be teaching a broadcasting course for a few months.

In other news, my manuscript of “A Route 66 Anthology” is off at a publisher. This book is a collection of stories by well-known authors that are set along the great mother-road.
