About

After completing a Bachelor's degree at Sacramento State University, I earned a Ph.D. at UC Davis.  A Fulbright grant enabled me to live in Vienna and study Gustav Mahler's sketches and drafts for his Second Symphony, research that forms part of my dissertation and a couple of articles I have published.  I have also written on popular music for the Cambridge journal, Popular Music, in particular on Rock music from England in the 1960s and 1970s, and regularly give pre-concert lectures in the Bay Area.
