Authors



I'd like you to become acquainted with our Authors by reading some of the articles they have written for our big band broadcast blog, The Palomar, and our "anything goes" blog, George's Blog. You'll also find articles and book reviews about big band music that I wrote for the former Chicago Daily News, the Chicago Sun-Times, and Chicago Magazine between 1977 and 1985. I have edited and updated them for Tuxedo Junction. Moreover, you'll find a number of other articles that I have written for Tuxedo Junction since I launched this web site in October 2000. When you click on a button with an author's name on the left, you will be taken to their articles. Most authors have written more than one. You can also click the links to individual articles in the list below. There are more than 60 articles listed below. I hope you enjoy each and every one. George Spink Los Angeles Email Me
