Version 1.0 appeared in 2010 as I marked my 60th birthday by posting fiddle tunes and other traditional folk music I had recorded over the previous 30-plus years. Some weird obsession led novice me to build my own website from scratch. I learned html coding as I went. And it all worked, but with some …

Wow. I did it.
Last summer I started to conceptually design my website, but I had zero idea about how to actually get it up and running. I did manage to claim my domain name, and a friend and supporter helped me obtain adequate hosting. There things sat for several months, while I puzzled over how to get my …
