The first concert I attended was Gladys Knight and the Pips at the Westbury Music Fair on Long Island. The opener was B.B. King. I was only ten or eleven, so I didn't fully grasp the weight of legend performing on the rotating stage in front of me. I was hooked, anyway. I've seen more than a thousand shows since then, afforded as much by my professional affiliations and friends, as well as boundless curiosity about music. I listen, write and talk about, shoot and live for music. I hope to build a body of work that documents that curiosity, and let it ring in my ears.
