New blog post (on someone else's blog)!

You wouldn’t think Westerns and mysteries have much in common with New Wave pop/ska. But I see a connection between my favorite band, the still-thriving ’80s English institution Madness, and what I write. Now the fine folks at the Stateside Madness blog have kindly opened their cyber-doors to this old Nutty Boy so I could explore how a group of North London popsters could inspire (in a roundabout way) Holmes on the Range and more. Check it out!
