Alum Dennis Rasmussen Writes Novel Highlighting Dynamic Days of 1960s

WEBWIRE -- Sacramento native Dennis Rasmussen has played drums for over fifty years—full time, part time, or at no time. Starting with gigs throughout the Nevada casino circuit, he sojourned to several major U.S. cities to play music, and earned a bachelor’s degree in theatre at San Francisco State. Later, as a settled family man, he wrote training manuals and other bureaucratese in California state offices and, in recent years, worked as a reporter for a local Oregon weekly, then self-published a memoir about his early days as a kid drummer on the road.
