| My novel, High C at the Sunset Terrace, set in 1948 in the jazz clubs along Indiana Avenue in Indianapolis, can be ordered here. |
| I write for publications including Into Art, Indie-music.com, Business Connection, Enjoy!, The (Columbus, Indiana) Republic, The Waverly (RI) Sun, Bloom, and Our Brown County. Arts journalism, business journalism, opinion columns and slice-of-life features. I play jazz and blues guitar. My musical life has a few facets. In some settings I do standards, bop charts and jump-era blues. I also make forays into soul and old, old-school R&B. I also host Stirring Something Up, a food and dining talk show, on Saturday mornings at 8 AM on 1010 WCSI-AM. Recipes, guests, restaurant reviews, herb gardening, wine, and the cultural implications of food-related news items. I also teach jazz history, blues history and rock & roll history at Indiana University- Purdue University Columbus. Mainly what I do at this point in my career and life is take a good long look at the prospects for Western civilization. I wish I could say I were more encouraged. |
