About meI'm adjunct faculty at Columbia College (Sonora, CA) where I teach the U.S. History survey courses.

I'm a singer-songwriter and a Bluegrass musician. I play guitar and mandolin family instruments.

Current favorite quote: "Power always has the most to apprehend from its own illusions." James Fenimore Cooper, The American Democrat, 1835

About my libraryMy library reflects the kind of material I read for fun as well as for professional development. American History is my chosen field of study (MA, Sonoma State, 2001) even if it's not my full time job.

I also love music so I love to read about instruments and making music.

Unfortunately, I cannot be bribed. The Early Reviewer books are picked by an algorithm, not a human :) Good luck - I hope you get it! Incidentally, I had Joe Ellis as a history professor in college, once upon a time :)

Thank you for accepting my friends invitation. I hope my profile gave you some new insights into Volney, Jefferson and Franco-American history. I will be glad to answer any questions you might have regarding Volney, his views, or book purchases. All Zee Best, TCW

Hi Daniel. Invite accepted.

I haven't looked in on Library Thing for a little while and it took me a moment to make the connection with the SCGC forum.

Glad to see you've found it interesting. I wasn't sure when I posted the link in the "Music Memoirs" thread that anyone had followed it up.

Neat video of you at the SCGC gathering. My son has been home from college for the weekend and playing the OM/PW he leaves at the house. He's a mandolin player too.

Interesting collection of books you've got listed. I'll have a browse around.

I'm an educational technologist as well, at a college in Oxford. I guess LT is exactly the sort of thing that appeals to guys like us.

Thanks for getting in touch.

Chris
