About Sonny
The son of a Russian Jewish father and an Irish Catholic mother, Sonny Saul was born in 1949 in Atlantic City, New Jersey where he grew up.
Beach, boardwalk, playgrounds, and attending public schools in a rich and diverse American cultural milieu shaped his youth. College, an early marriage, babies, life in Philadelphia, and then a great music teacher, Dennis Sandole, set the tone for what has become a life long involvement with family, music, art, and scholarship.
Now living in Woodstock, Vermont where he runs the famous Pleasant Street Bookstore which he started in 1987, Sonny continues to keep a loose wig.
