    I have been pretty much obsessed with music for more than 50 years. Maybe to compensate for a singular inability to sing or play, I sometimes write about music and take pictures of musicians. Current favourites include Jason Isbell, Eilen Jewell, Tedeschi-Trucks, Gillian and Dave, and Wilco. I live in the Blue Mountains, just west of Sydney, Australia.
