Listed below are a few of the articles I've contributed to various publications since 1975. I've had a great many other bylines in different fanzines and record collecting publications such as Time Barrier Express, Record Exchanger, Kicks, and California Music. The most frequent subject of these articles has been early sixties' surf and hot-rod music.
