Jeff Dayton-Johnson is a rapidly-aging economist and return migrant to California
Discovered at an early age to be a musical non-prodigy, I have settled
for trying to listen
intelligently. Early in high school I bought three LPs, in one trip
to
Tower Records: A
Love Supreme, Kind of Blue, and a Billie Holiday
collection called
Lady Day (Teddy Wilson stuff from the 30s). That was all it
took.
I teach economics and public policy at a small graduate school in
Monterey, California. I also host the radio program “Now's the Time,”
late-night music for people who like jazz--and not only jazz--on
our Santa Cruz, Cal., NPR affiliate, KUSP 88.9 FM. (Listen to the most recent
broadcast anytime you like with the Music Show Player at kusp.org.)
