Hi !
I was born in Wallasey, England, 1952, and currently live in Chepstow, Wales. I started here in July 2006. Below are the new pages (in bold) and major edits which I have undertaken (some of which have now disappeared !). (Yes, I know some of the categories are arbitrary, but it helps me.)
I try to create or improve the content of articles, particularly on sound in time. Recently I've been trying to repair some of the big gaps in Wikipedia's coverage of classic R&B music, roughly from the 1930s through the 1970s. My personal tastes are pretty wide - this week I am mainly listening to this and this, but I always go back to this, this, this, and this, together with a lot of this, that, and the other.
