Three New Books From Me

On Monday, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, and because I felt like doing it, I released three new books. Three new, massive books, in one day.

For some time, I have wanted to collect my print interviews over the past thirty years. Afters years scouring all over to find the work of other artists, I realized that I wanted my own work to be collected and released in one place, and hopefully find new readers and listeners in the process. Sooner or later, the work we create lives on away from us, and eventually beyond us.

Two of the books reflect my love of the music of the 1960s. My Flash On You, Volumes One And Two collects interviews with everyone from the Animals, Big Star, Cyrkle, Left Banke, Sonics, Procol Harum, Love and many more. The third, Hurried Documents, collects interviews ranging from Douglas Adams, to baseball players, Marx Brothers writers, musicians, and many others. All of these books also chart my journey as a writer and interviewer, and collector of stories.

All three books are available on Amazon, via the links below, and soon to be at your favorite local bookstore. These are interesting times that we live in. Ultimately, all one can do some days is stand in the wind, run your flag up the pole and say, I'm doing this. Because you want to, whether or not the world is watching. And hey, how many times in your life can you say, I released three books today?

Today is that day.

Enjoy, and see you on the road.

A New Fort Canoga Press Book With My Photos

Hello All-

I wanted to let you know that there is a new book on the Fort Canoga Press newsstands, and it features a lot of my photos. I recently photographed Rock Hill High School's 50th anniversary reunion, and the organizers of the reunion came to me with an idea to put together a special book commemorating the event.

The result is this-

The book is full of my photos from that weekend, as well as various memories and ephemera from 1966, and Rock Hill High School. The book is edited and put together by Becky Helms, and my thanks to her for taking this project on.

Are you interested in creating a similar book? Contact us and let us know. More news soon, and see you on Amazon,
