Bruce Eric Kaplan's book, "I Was a Child" in Maplewood

Just caught Terry Gross' interview and realize I grew up in Maplewood about the same time. Wonder if Michael is his brother.  Anybody read the book yet?

I've read it.  It was fun to read about the author's perception of his childhood.  The book is available at the Maplewood Library if you are interested in reading it yourself.

if the Michael you refer to is the saxophonist Mike Kaplan then yes they are brothers

Yes! I played alto. Mike was better. 

He will be playing a few times this summer in South Orange, as part of the Downtown After Sundown Series.  First time on May 29, on Sloan Street by the diner
