Good friend of FRONT ROW & BACKSTAGE, Steve Goldberg, who writes the uniquely musically/humorous Earworms & Song Loops, enjoys walking dogs, and eating locally, and all with his trusty, stainless steel Tune Tag Travel Mug!

So, Steve likes to eat! Hey, dog-walking takes it out of a guy!

Earworms & Song Loops scribe and creator, Steve Goldberg, has been an early supporter and annual Paid subscriber to FRONT ROW & BACKSTAGE since we started, and we’re happy to have him aboard!

That’s another fine mess Steve’s gotten himself into! As Homer might utter, “D’oh!”

Andy, a Founding Member of FRONT ROW & BACKSTAGE goes by the nom de tune of Andres, at least on his magnificent Substack entry, The Vinyl Room! To my mind (and 👂), Andy has mastered the 3 elements available on the ‘Stack: cracklin’ and topical writing, audio (with hilarious, and sometimes outrageous) voice-overs, and video, with his always-riveting video-chat series, “Vital Records,” where we discover the favorite records (and why!) of a fellow vinyl lover each week!
