I was born in Brooklyn, New York in the mid 1950s, the very same week that a rock’n'roll song would be the first of its kind to rise to the top of the pop charts in America. It was a new form of music this rock’n'roll, a fad that would come and go in a year, but I would connect and create in my life around the rock’n'roll songs I would hear. Now, fifty years on, I have lived a good part of my life, I have set out what I’ve wanted to say in a book about what I have learned, what I have kept, and what I have passed on the way.

Music was the river, my connection to friends with whom I shared my time. Born in the age of the electric guitar, it was the sound of our age defined. I’ve gathered those memories around me and looking at what I have found, there is a stream connecting my story,  I’ve lived a rock’n'roll dream around sound.

I’ve been a musician, a songwriter, a record producer, and I’ve co-owned an indie rock label, but I will always be best remembered for the rock clubs that I created and co-owned in New York: Sanctuary, Mission, and Luna Lounge.
