Once upon a time many eons ago (when America was Great the First Time), Paul was a kid living in upstate New York who discovered pop music on his transistor radio. Paul’s interest in music has never waned, persevering through his parents’ uprooting him to Southern California (since outlawed as cruel and unusual punishment), a psychedelic journey through UC Santa Cruz, 14 months of vagabonding through Europe and Middle East and a 37-year law career, which included 6 hilarious years as a trial lawyer in SF and 30 as senior attorney for the California Court of Appeal. Having retired and relocated to Nevada City, Paul is now exploring the other side of his personality, which includes a lifelong ambition to be a DJ. How crazy is that?
Paul’s interests include travel, hiking, swimming, bicycling, appellate mediation, and writing.
Feel free to ask him for legal advice but don’t expect a useful reply. And please don’t get him started on politics.
In 2017, Paul became a KVMR certified broadcaster after passing a test that was way harder than the bar exam and in May 2018 he began Dawn Eclectica, alternate Wednesdays from, 4-7 am, where Paul’s varied and kaleidoscopic musical tastes animated the airwaves for four years. Wishing to break new musical barriers while avoiding disruption of his circadian rhythms, in May 2022 Paul launched Moonlight Rhapsody, a musical sauna for the mind and soul.
Paul’s latest venture is Duck Soup, which airs every 2nd and 5th Wednesday of the month from 8-10 pm. Duck Soup is a potpourri of the unexpected: Something old, something new, something weird and something groove. A mixture of folk, jazz, pop, blues, psychedelia and new age, with a pinch of classical, all in a mind expanding soup of flavorful tunes, with a little Marx Brothers zaniness in between. A kaleidoscopic roller coaster of music for your evening listening pleasure.
