Letter from the Editor

All Mike Greenblatt has ever done in his entire life is listen to music and tell people about it, be it as a New York City publicist, editor or freelance journalist.
It’s been five decades of journalistically chronicling rock’n’roll, blues, jazz, folk, soul and country, and it all started in New Jersey as Music Editor of the Aquarian Weekly and then in New York City as editor of Modern Screen’s Country Music, Wrestling World and Metal Maniacs.
His writing subjects fill the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He's interviewed Joe Cocker, Graham Nash, David Crosby, Carlos Santana, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Johnny Cash, and members of The Rolling Stones and The Beatles.
His first book—Woodstock: Back To Yasgur’s Farm—about a life-changing weekend he experienced in 1969 at the age of 18, came out in 2019. He is currently the Editor of this website as well as contributing to Goldmine Magazine and The Aquarian.
Mike Greenblatt:
So glad to have met and befriended Sound Scientist David Schnirman, The Jersey Sound Man. His story graces this month’s “Up Close” section. This month’s “History” is about a vocal group from Paterson called The Happenings who had a #1 in the summer of ’66 called “See You In September.” The song was used in the soundtrack of American Graffiti in ’73 and covered by Bobby Rydell, Shelly Fabares, The Chiffons, Julie Budd, The Mike Curb Congregation, Debby Boone and Gerry & The Pacemakers. All four videos this month in our “Visual Sound” section are from artists down the Jersey Shore: Connor Bracken & The Mother Leeds Band (“Back In Town”), Bruce (“One Step Up”), Cyborg Amok (“Some Sleep Tonight”) and Joe Caspi & The First Gun (“Raise ‘Em High!”). You’ll “Meet…” Eric Dash from Cherry Hill and read about The Fall Of America by Newark poet Allen Ginsberg (especially applicable today). As always, the “Calendar” is chockful of places to go and music to hear and the “Events” are especially noteworthy. The Jersey Sound documentary is getting rave reviews. If you have yet to see it, what are you waiting for?
The Jersey Sound isn't just a documentary; it's a love letter to the soul of New Jersey's music scene.
