About Me

For as long as I can remember music has been one of the central hubs around which my life has revolved. After spending 12 years in public radio at KAZU in Monterey & KALX in Berkeley, I resolved to begin writing about music, good & bad, instead of just spinning it. I'm a regular contributor to the online magazines JamBase.com, Ebong.org, Crazewire.com and now AAJ. I strive to be truthful and maybe a touch poetic. Those simple ideas are my guiding principles, along with a few more I picked up from my northstar, Lester Bangs (which cliche as it may seem to cite him, he truly is all that and a king size bag o' chips). I'm delighted that anyone reads my stuff and only hope that what I do helps enrich a few folk's listening experience from time to time.
