BIO

Tony Cocuzza's degree in Psychology has probably helped him more in his four years of poetic misadventure
than in his 33 years as a Social Worker. He admits to publishing success in music reviews, for 21 years
in the Reading Eagle and in his current music blog and Amazon.com since 2009. He will do his best to entertain You,
without song, dance, or shadow pictures.
