When you talk about legendary music journalists in the Garden State, the list has to include Jim Testa.  He founded a popular zine called Jersey Beat back in 1982 and has written for numerous publications over the years, His main job for the last few decades was at the Jersey Journal until it ceased publication in February.

His next move was to enter the world of Substack where his column, Constant Listener, can now be found.

I was glad to see him…
