"Who? Who?"

    about me
    Who is creating the sounds that really matter? Who is writing music that has real emotional impact? I'm sure everyone feels like they know good music from bad, and have a varied set of influences, and I'm probably no different. I have lived in Baltimore for some years, and followed the music scene there. Now I'm out in Providence, and the music here (and in nearby Boston) is an embarassment of riches. We truly live in a golden age, with all kinds of new ideas and influences instantly available to us. I hope I can introduce new listeners to music they haven't heard before, some different cultures and attitudes, and just some great bands. Peace -
