This irregular newsletter is published by a veteran muso and inveterate maverick. He began his career in 1971 working as a record clerk. hoon has remained at the front lines of the record industry where the 'product' meets the end-user for the better part of two decades. He has also contracted and volunteered services in marketing, concert production, programming, and artist management. He created hundreds of hours of broadcast programming for radio stations in the Champlain Valley (Vermont) between 1976 and 1989. He records his own 'world hed' music under the moniker, KAMELMOWZ. Yet, above all, as far as the music biz goes he is philosopher, gadfly, and outsider.

 2004 NOTE-hoon's tunes and muso news is defunct except for active webBLOGS and historical articles below. (I just got fed up with corrupt music business, excepting enlightened artists and their advanced business models. See artists webBLOG for current 'state of the art'.)
