Summer 1998: Volume 9, Number 2

 

The cover art for this issue is

ALONG THE PATH

by Stephen Green.

The following is a paraphrased and condensed version of part of The Editor's Page, by Richard Chronister:

"This art work is on the cover of Mathew Galasso's CD, and is by Stephen Green, a founding member of Accomplice (a rock band) and its singer/songwriter. Stephen is a recent graduate of the California State University, Long Beach, School of Fine Arts. He says that music and art are his primary vehicles of expression and that, for many of his paintings, he often derives inspiration and subject-matter ideas from music."

More about Accomplice is available on its website: www.accomplice.com. More about Mathew Galasso is found on his website: www.mjgmusic.com.
