Arts Advocacy & Cultural Commentary Columns:
​The Ryder Magazine and The Bloomington Voice

For decades, I wrote monthly arts and entertainment commentary columns for the Ryder magazine (serving the community of Bloomington, Indiana).
Throughout the 1990s, I also wrote a weekly cultural commentary and arts column (called "The Watchcat")  for the
Bloomington Voice alternative newspaper.
During the 1`980s and 1990s, I was actively involved with the local arts community. In the early 1990s, I ran Second Story music nightclub. 
​

Here are PDF writing samples from my final period of commentary writing for the Ryder--2017, 2018, and 2019--including an
October 2019 memoir, written for the 40th year Ryder anniversary,
focusing on the 1980s and 1990s Bloomington arts scene.
