I am here for Networking

About Me

I have been involved in the Delaware Metal community for about 20 years. For many of these years I have hosted what is probably the oldest radio program dedicated to heavy metal and hard rock in the state. I owe much of my broadcasting knowledge to Traci Neaves, Keith Mills and Ron 'Roadblock' Smith, and much of my renewed interest in Motown and early pop music to Jerry Grant and Rick Lewis. I was once a scab bass player for The Hated (Delaware), and I did a brief stint as a bass player in a death metal band from Maryland. Some other stuff I've done- freelance journalist, roadie, amateur photographer, amateur videographer and amateur audio recordist (not by any means a bootlegger, but also not having the experiences to call myself an amateur 'recording engineer').I am always looking for metal submissions for my show (international submissions are also welcome). If you want to send something my way, here's the address:
P. O. Box 143
Wilmington, Delaware 19899-0143
USA

It's one of my personal quests to increase the general Metal public's awareness of female artists, and, another, to help sustain the local Metal community by being a consistent provider of broadcasting opportunities for local Metal artists.
I used to speak German fluently and I know a little Spanish.

Why I Wear Black

For some reason, your average American seems to have some aversion to the color black. Black is the color of the fertile earth and, in fabric dye-iing, marks the presence of all colors. It is the colo...
