Let me introduce myself!  I am L. Scott Stoltz, born and raised in South Jersey.  I moved to Philadelphia in 1994 when I met my partner.  He and I owned and operated About the Beat Records right here on Pine Street for 8 years!  All my life I have considered myself a “frustrated” writer, and finally, after years of stopping and starting, I have completed my first book, titled, OBSESSIONS, DIGRESSIONS, AND SHOCKING CONFESSIONS!  (Welcome to my Therapy), published through PublishAmerica.com.  It is a personal memoir, written “tongue-in-cheek”, in a conversational tone between me and the reader (i.e. my Therapist!).
