I was born in Philadelphia, and I gigged and hung out here with many
great musicians. Some made it to pop stardom, some moved onto other
fields, some still work as studio or touring musicians and songwriters.
Relive the '80s is our scrapbook. It's just for
fun — and for connecting musicians and friends. So enjoy! And we appreciate any
contributions you can make toward
building this
portrait of the '80s Philly music scene.
