I've enjoyed rock music and writing since I was a teenager in the 60s. I
feel lucky to have been around when rock's greatest stars created their most
enduring hits. At the same time I found I enjoyed writing, as well. I worked on my high school newspaper and magazine, was editor of
several college publications and earned a bachelor's degree from Central
Michigan University in 1973. I worked for the daily newspaper in my hometown after graduating, becoming managing editor after a few years. By the 1980s, I moved into public relations. In 1985, my wife Sue and I opened a retail music
store, The Record Rack, which we still own. Rock 'n' roll has been integral to me and for the last 2O years I've been earning my living from it even though I don't have a musical bone in my
body. In recent years, I've also I edited a small local magazine and launched a micro FM radio station. Now, I'm finally combining my love of writing and rock 'n' roll. I can't sing a note, but I know what I like. I'll tell you all about it when you read on. I hope
you have as much enjoyment reading these installments as I've had writing
them.
