    • Music Interviews

The co-founding keyboard player and singer with the New Orleans Suspects spent years playing funk and soul music on the Southeastern club circuit before landing in town.

Topics include Pride month, shame, Galatoire’s, Michael Dominici, Alice Cooper, an assessment win, a Gardenia Moon recording session, Jerry West RIP, Bill Walton RIP, tornados, granny porn, Leon Medica RIP, redheads, Philadelphia, classical training, Rush, the Talking Heads, a school lunch set interrupted, a Dead cover band, a box truck, pay phones, fan mail, the Maple Leaf Bar, Frenchy, Kevin O’Day, Jake Eckert, the Usual Suspects, Willie Green, Reggie Scanlon, the Rhythm Shack Studio, Wet Willie, Eddie Christmas, a James Booker story, clown camp, Paul Green, “Rock School,” a franchise success, and much more.
