Cleveland has recently lost one of its great artists Chappelle Letman. Chappelle said he lived two lives, one as a painter with sight, one in Cleveland as a sculptor after going blind. I filmed a documentary on him and we remained friends. I will miss him.

Allmusic helped shape my music taste as a high schooler. Sad to see one of their best writers get laid off.
After some 32 years, I have been laid off from Xperi, whose music editorial database is featured on Allmusic. I enjoyed working there and will miss having steady work. If you have any leads or opportunities, let me know. I'm open to writing, editing and consulting.

I’ve seen my girlfriend’s band play at the crown several times it’s such a great and unique venue. I’m going to miss it.
With a heavy heart, today we announce that The Crown will be ceasing operations as of August 12th, 2024 (a week AFTER artscape / subscape!). Events will be going on as planned through the August 11th weekend. Stay Tuned for our final programming!
