The Guitarist:
With 39 years of experience on the acoustic guitar, Rolly has been a National Fingerpicking Champion and a Philadelphia Music Award nominee. He has performed at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Tasmanian Folk Festival, and tons of places in between. He hosted the Guitar Wizards radio show which ran on public radio in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Maine for several years, introducing listeners to guitarists and techniques usually searched out only by total guitar maniacs. He has served as a sideman for Magpie, Winnie Winston, Saul Broudy, Jack McGann, Priscilla Herdman, Jay Ansill, and many others, and has recently performed with 1995 National Flatpicking Champion Mark Cosgrove, and, until her tragic death, with the late fiddler and singer extraordinaire Freyda Epstein.

Aussie Dogs
Below is little Keli, from the "showdog" end of the Kelpie breed, and her step brother Django.
Keli is a not-too-distant niece of the late great Max The Dog, pictured "in flight" above, and Django is from the "working dog" branch of the breed.
The Whimsical Keli and The Thoughtful Keli:
Django, the Working Kelpie
from Meson Working Kelpie Stud in NSW Australia. Pictured on the day of his arrival in the USA at 13 weeks (all ears left) and, in herding mode as a full grown dog.
Pictured below are our original Australian Kelpies (l-r) Bony, Savannah, and the great Max The Dog, along with their Belgian Tervuren pal Waffles. These wonderful Kelpie pals have all passed on, but their spirit lives on in Keli and Django, pictured above. Australia's best kept secret, the Kelpie is a terrific sheep herding dog with a frightening amount of intelligence and even more energy. They require lots of exercise, but, man are they worth it!
