  • Riding to the Mysterious Pyramid-Tombs of Arizona’s Outback.

    My story in American Rider Magazine   The specter of pyramids rising from the desert seems more Egyptian than Arizonan, and yet for more than 100 years, three pyramids holding the bones of Arizona leaders, explorers, and visionaries have dotted Arizona’s landscape.

  • The Ghosts Are Full Here As The Hungry Half Moon Rises

      And so am I, full with the imprints of time and memory. I am rich in soul, yet I’m hungry for more. It’s not a feast I want, I keep my appetite for all things in moderation, but I want what singer Sam Garrett wants, “More life, more blessings; more peace, more unity.” It’s…

    The grand American narrative of the open road is more compelling on a motorcycle. It captures the imagination of wanders and seekers because it looks like a story of independence and freedom. It’s not always true, but there is a universal search playing out in every riders quest for the open road, and that is…

  • Get Your Irish On With The Good Rascal

    Irish music relays powerful stories of love and loss, patriotism and sacrifice, and a thirst for the dram or grog. It comes to you with a strong beat and lyric verse. Sing along or pound your fist on the table to “Whiskey in the Jar,” “All for Me Grog,” and “Wild Rover.” Get lost in…
