I am not old, though aging; not grey, though too many hairs are fading that way; and not feline, but a decidedly flawed human. I’m a middle-aged white guy with catholic tastes, a product of my times but not a prisoner of them. (While I subscribe to the George Santayana aphorism that “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” I also believe that those who only look in the rearview mirror are sure to drift into the median strip. Old ways can be a ball and chain.) In 1997, I launched the original Old Grey Cat website, which lived until 2006, when offline responsibilities led me to shut it down; my Neil Young and CSN/Y coverage earned mentions in the Record Collector and Mojo Collectibles magazines. I launched this blog as occasional essays on the Hatboro-Horsham Patch in February 2012 and moved it to Wordpress.com in the summer of 2014. As the tag line indicates, it’s a mix of music reviews, reminisces and related ephemera. I can be reached at oldgreycat [at] yahoo [dot] com.
