Meet ‘Cousin B’
Staunch defender of the Middle Ground.
With a pen, a guitar, and a hockey stick, he is dedicated to advancing these ideas:
- Common sense must be common again
- Entertainment can educate
- Education can entertain
- And we all need to learn, think, laugh, cry, and play.

Who is ‘Cousin B’ and why is he sending me pizzas?
It’s time to meet your 4th cousin, twice removed, once lost, found, evicted, forgiven, and removed again on your dutch uncle’s side.
Okay, Really, Who is ‘Cousin B’?
While the rest of the world shoves pins in their heads and waves their private parts at your aunties, Pegwood Arts is proud to bring you a variety of well-crafted creative and collaborative works from the precocious alter-ego of music veteran Brian Ascenzo.
On these pages, you’ll find a unique repertoire sculpted by Brian’s dedication to old-school quality and its survival in the modern ‘e-ra’.
In any case, you can rest assured that you will not be pandered to, belittled or shocked for no reason by the pages on this site. We will maintain a strict PG rating level for all the material contained here. Though we will tackle some tough issues occasionally, we will never resort to graphically offensive material.
Stylistically, Cousin B will embrace all things ‘boomer’ and all the greatest achievements of the 20th century, yet mercilessly lampoon the worst

In addition you’ll be able to read Cousin B’s online book-in-progress
in serial form.
