MUSIC REVIEWS

To even scratch the surface of my lifelong experience with music is beyond the scope of this modest Web page. When I was able to start writing seriously about music -- writing for publications and Internet sites with significant readership -- it was really a treat. For four years I wrote a CD review column for the Nagoya-based Chubu Weekly, Central Japan's only English-language newspaper. I was the official Japan correspondent for the rock band KISS. I was selected by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen of Steely Dan to cover their spring 2000 shows in Tokyo, which were the openers for the tour supporting their first studio album in 20 years. And so on and so forth.
