This picture was taken a few weeks ago. Brisbane was never to sure about Donovan, but on this day he knew better.

I'm what you'd call a music enthusiast. Not one of those obsessive people, but definitely fanatical about it. This blog began as a forum for whatever I am listening to throughout the day but I'm also trying to include full-blown CD reviews too.

- UPDATED - 3/1/24. (This update is LONG overdue!) I've lived in Pittsburgh all my life. It's a good town. Come and see it. Although most of my writing here covers jazz - in particular, the more avant-garde or envelope pushing type - I've played bass in indie rock bands and like to write about that kind of music too. Currently I'm in the Harry Von Zells, Our album, Play It Backwards, came out in Spring '23. Beyond that, I won't list my whole musical past but I should mention my first band, Bone of Contention because I occasionally hear from people who are trying to find the song "Barbie Likes to Die" from our first album - which was rereleased digitally. Our whole catalog (and the HVZ album) are on Bandcamp on the Igor Records page. As a music scribe, I've contributed and edited for nearly every alt-weekly in town. Nationally I contribute to the New York City Jazz Record and spent about 20 years at JazzTimes. I am also a member of the Jazz Journalists Association.

Wow - It's funny that you're writing now because a few ex-Bone of Contention members and I have been chatting on facebook about the album "Barbie" was on: 48 Points of View. It'll be 20 years in January since it came out.
That's really great to know that somebody who heard it as an exchange student still remembers it!
Another reason you're writing at a good time: I just burned the album onto CD for people who don't have turntables. I could send you a copy. or if you'd like the whole album, I could send it to you. I'll send you an email with more info.
Thanks. When I first saw your name I was worried the message was going to be a porn spam. Glad I was wrong!
