Colin Hussey I am a San Francisco-based actor, photographer, graphic designer and sometimes writer, also managing the building where I live. I have a BA in Music from Holy Names College (now University) in Oakland, having once played an acoustic bass, now long sold. My interests and tastes are quite broad, so readers/listeners can expect a range of music from Ars Nova to indie Hip Hop. I’ll also weigh in on other relevant subjects, from time to time. I’m jazzed to join The Kreen of the Crop.
