My book is a memoir about growing up in Brooklyn in the 50s and 60s.

The title is Deep Down in Brooklyn. It is an illustrated book, 400 pages with 127 historic and personal photographs.

It is a story largely untold and in great detail about urban living, and includes service with the Marines in Vietnam.

I’ve lived all over New York and now live on Eastern Long Island where I host a nightly jazz radio program at Long Island’s Public Radio station, WPPB - Peconic Public Broadcasting 88.3 FM. My program is heard Monday to Friday evenings, 8pm - 11pm. I have been on the air for over 14 years.
