I've been a collector of rare letters and manuscript material for 35 + years, with special interest in music, literature, science, the civil rights movement, the women's movement,
Lincoln and other historical figures that resonate with me. I'm probably most known for my serious focus on Woody Guthrie and his circle, including Lead Belly, Pete Seeger and The Weavers, Bob Dylan and important rock artists from 1955-1970.
