Songwriter Insights: Nuts and Bolts Talk for Today's Music Biz

Songwriter Insights: Nuts and Bolts Talk for Today's Music Biz


Dave Good talks about technology’s effect on music and culture.

June 12, 2015

Dave Good is an award-winning journalist and author. Originally from Ft. Worth, TX, he writes about music, pop culture, and American life. His life-long infatuation with music began in an unlikely place: Crawford High School, in East San Diego. There, he played sax with future jazz luminaries such as Carl Evans, Nathan East, and Hollis Gentry.
After journalism school at SDSU, he found work in Top 40 and album-oriented rock radio for the next two decades, a period of time in which he also hosted KGB Rocks 10, a popular local music video show on ABC television. In the course of a media career that now approaches three decades, if placed end to end the number of words he has published thus far would stretch around the globe at least once.
Currently at work on a book about rock and roll’s farm team and the unsung music heroes of San Diego past, Dave lives in La Mesa, CA. His book, Jukebox Confessions, is available through Amazon.
