I'm a music and semi-humor writer based in the Lowcountry of South Carolina; my music writing has appeared in Billboard, the Chicago Sun-Times, Playboy, No Depression, a Jimmy Buffett fan newsletter in Pennsylvania for some reason and Backstreets, the leading magazine dedicated to Bruce Springsteen, who, I must admit, provided my introduction to the sax. My young son became briefly obsessed with Horace Silver's “Song For My Father,” which reduced me to tears for like a month. I also have what is probably the most obvious Desert Island list on this site.
