Books that have changed me, influenced me, or moved me the most, emotionally or intellectually, at the right moment in my life; sort of a top 18:

Six Degrees of Separation

Name-dropping: I know, or have known, the following people: Anida Yoeu Ali, Raoul Bott, Zana Briski, Peggy A. Bulger, Jeff Chang, Jun Choi, Adrienne Cooper, Jim Corbett, Erik Ehn, Mrinal Haque, Sheldon Hackney, Alan Jabbour, Daniel Jenkins, Barbara Kopple, Sabina Magliocco, Mari J. Matsuda, Andrew McCarthy, Timothy Noah, Susan Power, Jack Santino, Dani Shapiro, Mark Wilf, and Jawole Willa Jo Zollar. I am, or was, distantly related to Susan B. Anthony, Judy Blume, Arthur Goldhammer, Nathan M. Newmark, and Hy Zaret. I was a student of Don Yoder, Arjun Appadurai, Dan Ben-Amos, Robert Coles, Irven DeVore, Owen Gingerich, Henry Glassie, Kenneth S. Goldstein, Dell Hymes, Albert Lord, Margaret Mills, George B. Moffat, Jr., Inés Talamantez, and Anthony F.C. Wallace. (However, David McClelland refused to let me study with him in college, because he didn't want to have any more advisees, so he told me to major in something else.) Mick Moloney, Alfredo Duvergel, Carlos Julián Ortiz, Ariel Ramos, and Alexis Vila have been in my car. I was on my high school fencing team with Gregory Mankiw and in a play with Todd Solondz. In college, I lived in the same dorm as Susan Faludi, Melissa Block, David Vitter, Martha Hackett, David Bell, and Jeff Westbrook (but I have no information about them). I learned that Mark Danner lived in the same room I did two years before me. I have met the following at least once: Manlio Argueta, Nazmi Avluca, Toni Cade Bambara, Richard Bauman, Phillip Berryman, Brother Blue, Manute Bol, Joyce Brabner, Ernesto Cardenal, Javier Castellano, Chien-Chi Chang, Bud Collins, Jon de Cortina, R. J. Cutler, Alireza Dabir, Martin Duberman, John Fife, Archie Green, Kang Yong-Gyun, Ted Kennedy, Yusef Komunyakaa, Charles Lane, Frank Lautenberg, Tom Lehrer, Rigoberta Menchú, Robert Menendez, Paolo Montalbán, Paul Muldoon, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Tim O'Brien, Carl Phillips, Marge Piercy, Alejandro Portes, Soupy Sales, Sam-Ang Sam, Pete Seeger, Andrés Segovia, Strings, Ion Ţiriac, Alex Trebek, Derek Walcott, Cornel West, Jody Williams, and Howard Zinn. I was a guest at the wedding of Sushil Kumar. I have received personal correspondence from Veronica Geng, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Bernard Malamud, Nguyen Qui Duc, Léopold Sédar Senghor, Wole Soyinka, and Iannis Xenakis, and talked on the phone with Barbara Kingsolver and Annabella Sciorra. (More to come). That means all these people are separated by two or at most three degrees of separation. Personally, however, I am neither important nor particularly successful.

Writers, Speakers, Actors, Musicians, Athletes, and Others I have seen perform in person: Danny Aiello, Alan Alda, Jane Alexander, Kofi Annan, Annaleigh Ashford, Lauren Bacall, Joan Baez, Pearl Bailey, Larry Blyden, Matthew Broderick, Jackson Browne, Richard Burton, Semyon Bychkov, Zoe Caldwell, Virginia Capers, Johnny Carson, Noam Chomsky, Myung-Whun Chung, Myron Cohen, Peter Cook, Robert Cray, Billy Crudup, Jim Dale, Jeff Daniels, Brian Dennehy, Sandy Dennis, Colleen Dewhurst, Bob Dishy, Novak Djokovic, Plácido Domingo, Fats Domino, Roger Federer, Lauren Flanigan, Leon Fleisher, Renee Fleming, Henry Fonda, Morgan Freeman, Carlos Fuentes, Peter Gabriel, Peter Gallagher, Andrew Garfield, Jack Gilford, Ira Glass, Phillip Glass, Susan Graham, David Alan Grier, George Grizzard, Josh Groban, Nathan Gunn, Rosemary Harris, John Lee Hooker, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Jesse Jackson, Lou Jacobi, James Earl Jones, Richard Kiley, Robert Klein, Keira Knightley, Nathan Lane, Lang Lang, Philip Langridge, James Levine, Laura Linney, Rich Little, Los Lobos, Radu Lupu, Yo-Yo Ma, Henry Mancini, Nelson Mandela, Diego Maradona, Karita Mattila, Audra McDonald, Frances McDormand, Bette Midler, Arthur Miller, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Walter Mondale, Dudley Moore, Errol Morris, James Morris, Toni Morrison, David Morse, Joe Morton, Riccardo Muti, Ilie Nastase, Liam Neeson, Anna Netrebko, Aaron Neville, Lupita Nyong'o, Sophie Okonedo, Manuel Orantes, Milo O'Shea, Geraldine Page, Sarah Jessica Parker, Luciano Pavarotti, Pelé, Anthony Perkins, Itzhak Perlman, Bernadette Peters, David Hyde Pierce, Paul Plishka, Jonathan Pryce, David Rakoff, Gene Rayburn, Vanessa Redgrave, Fatuma Roba, Jason Robards, Doris Roberts, David Robertson, Saoirse Ronan, Julius Rudel, Mercedes Ruehl, Mark Rylance, Leonie Rysanek, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, Dorado Schmitt, Gil Shaham, Alex Sharp, Michelle Shocked, Jake Shimabukuro, Donald Sinden, Gary Sinise, Sammy Sosa, Mike Schmidt, George C. Scott, Paul Simon, Wole Soyinka, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Elaine Stritch, Kiri Te Kanawa, Koko Taylor, Bryn Terfel, Dawn Upshaw, Maxim Vengerov, Ben Vereen, Deborah Voigt, Zoe Wanamaker, Yuja Wang, Denzel Washington, Katie Webster, Ben Whishaw, Emlyn Williams, B.D.

Other celebrity sightings: Walter Cronkite, Danny DeVito, Katherine Hepburn, John Houseman, Patti LuPone, Jerry Orbach, Rhea Perlman, Natasha Richardson, David Schwimmer, Wallace Shawn (treated his fans most graciously), Howard Stern, Rod Stewart, Muhammad Yunus

To do list

In the future I hope to work on the following missing articles: Diana S. Forman, Ben F. Jones (artist), Klaw Theatre/Avon Theatre, Playhouse Theatre (48th St. and 8th Ave.), Zalmaï. Since I originally wrote this, people have created these which had been on my to-do list: Rachel Davis DuBois, Sidney Finkelstein, Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, Philadelphia Folklore Project, Margaret Randall, Sygma Photo News, Barre Toelken, Don Yoder.

I'm currently trying to collect information on the American Folklore Society presidents, editors of the Journal of American Folklore and Chicago Folklore Prize winners, before I upload them onto the American Folklore Society page. Also International Award of Giuseppe Pitrè-Salvatore Salomone Marino for Ethnological and Anthropological Studies. To help with this project, until they're ready to be posted, go here and here.
