Peter Alway IF

Peter Alway has been involved in filk music since his brother Dave dragged him to FKO and OVFF in 2003. Peter's main axes are the baritone ukulele and the mountain dulcimer- because only 4-string instruments are humanly playable. He tries to maintain a balance of instrumental music, silly songs about squirrels (and one hedgehog) and pretty songs about the universe and the wonder of music itself.

When he's not making music, Peter teaches astronomy part-time at a community college, and publishes reference books for rocket modeling hobbyists, filled with drawings and stories of historical rockets.

He was Interfilk Guest at Contata in 2014.
