I was a writer for "The Grapevine" for many years in the 1980's and 1990's and wrote many articles for that monthly publication. I have written reguarly for Let's Dance! magazine since the late 1980s. Below are some of the more popular ones, plus some other pieces I've selected from other sources. Enjoy!
