In 1973, I came to the United States to study folklore at the University of Pennsylvania, where Professor Kenneth Goldstein—my main inspiration and mentor—was head of the department.

There was not much time for music, but I did have some old-time sessions with fiddlers Alan Jabbour and Richard Blaustein.
