- About Me
My Grateful Dead show career was based out of my home town of Philadelphia. I was lucky enough to officially shoot photos of about 15 shows for assorted publications. I saw 275-plus shows between 1976 and 1995, relocating to Northern California in November 1998. Been living near Paradise, Calif., in the Sierra Nevada foothills, since 2000. My old cassette collections sits idle in Rubbermaid containers under my bed, but for me, the music stays alive, in remarkably high fidelity, courtesy of Sirius Satellite Radio's Channel 32, the Grateful Dead channel. Nice rekindling those old memories while driving around in the mountains (and valley) in my pickup. Currently, I'm editor of The Buzz, the weekly entertainment supplement of the Chico (Calif.) Enteprise-Record and Oroville Mercury-Register, two daily papers in far Northern California between Sacramento and the Oregon border. (updated 10-07)
