This website aims to inform you more about me, the author, and my publications together with Golden Crest Records. Our main aim is to send you rushing to your collections to play all those great records again!
Golden Crest Records is an original independent label, founded in 1956, that has entered the streaming era (see "Golden Crest Records" tab).
My three books are: "Record Makers and Breakers," "Rhythm & Blues in New Orleans" (originally “Walking to New Orleans”) and "South to Louisiana: The Music of the Cajun Bayous."

At the annual Association of Recorded Sound Collections Conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I was surprised to receive the ARSC Lifetime Achievement Award for my music history work through the years. In my acceptance speech, I highlighted the mentorship of Mike Leadbitter and Simon Napier in the early days of Blues Unlimited magazine. Thanks, Mike and Simon!
