About Me:
Despite the fact that I'm extremely involved with music in the NY/NJ area today, I am not a musician. My connection to the music scene was purely accidental. When I took an early retirement from the corporate world, I wasn't sure what to do & I became restless. I was accustomed to being extremely busy. I found the answer through reconnecting to my life-long love of music. That which started as an attempt to help a friend promote his performances, evolved into a newsletter, and eventually morphed into a Music Community.

I am a former Operations Manager, Engineer, and Adjunct Professor and today I do consulting work, volunteer, and run the Web Music Community. This is my way of thanking my musician friends for the many hours of enjoyment they have given me.

My Favorite Music:
Since this is a social network, and the question is usually asked, here goes:

I have a very diverse music collection, but favor music with meter and melody. I listen to everything from Monk to Muddy Waters to Metal to Mozart & everything in between.
