Author Information

Ron Brinnon, professional musician hailing from Sandusky, Ohio, has been wielding his saxophone for over seventy years. He attended Berklee School of Music and has garnered on-the-job expertise from many renowned artists. With a lifetime of touring Florida, the South and Midwest, it is no wonder that Ron has a story to tell that covers the thrilling, yet hazardous terrain of the pop and jazz landscape, chronicling major mid-century events as he journeyed. In addition to music, his later years included internet merchandising and the acquiring of four lovely stepdaughters with his late wife, Ann. Living in South Carolina with his first daughter, Sheryl and two cats, Ron still treats audiences to the sultry sounds of his sax playing in local small groups and big bands.
