Haha, I am glad folks have confidence in me, but I don't know the author and while he may be among us, he has yet to reach out to me with an offer of a review copy.
Aside from being a recreational $1/2 player for some time and a dealer for the past 8+ years, I am a writer. It used to be my occupation but after retiring for a few years I came back because I missed it. I write about music - loud-ass music for the most part. I have reviewed a few books in my time.
A couple I did last year if anyone cares (about my writing or about punk/metal):
Straight Edge: A Clear-Headed Hardcore Punk History
For the Sake of Heaviness
Anyway, I'm here if Mr. Dinardi wants to reach out and get a little free publicity!
