Hello past or new visitors:
In addition to my books and newspaper/ magazine journalism, here you’ll find sections on my bluegrass music and theatre work.
My latest: I’ve just had published by the Bluegrass Today web magazine what I believe is an important opinion essay on Bill Monroe, “The Father of Bluegrass,” as an important – but widely unrecognized – autobiographical singer/song writer (see Bluegrass Music section).
I’ve been co-creating an original two-act comedy/thriller entitled Tentacles! The H.P. Lovecraft Musical.
Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) is now lauded by authors as prominent as Stephen King and Joyce Carol Oates as a distinctive stylist and among the greatest masters of supernatural/sci-fi/strange tales (see Theater section).
Best,
Richard
