[edit] Welcome
I have been a member of Wikipedia since October 2005, but I am not very active as of late. I worked a lot on pages for albums and created over 300 of them; I created all of the album pages for Barry Manilow, Heart, KC and the Sunshine Band, Kool and the Gang, and Nazareth. I was also major contributor to Wikiproject North Dakota, and created about 200 articles pertaining to North Dakota politics. I also made great improvements to articles such as Donnie Iris, see the before and after. My most recent article improvement project has been to FireHouse; see the before and after.
[edit] Music
Last.fm
|
I have 864 songs in my iTunes library. I used sources like allmusic to find the year of release for every song in my library. The results are as follows (10-2-2007):
I enjoy music from the 1970s, 1980s, and even the early 1990s. New music, though, really isn't for me, unless it is a new release by an older artist like Toto or Survivor. My favorite genres include hair metal, classic rock, and melodic rock. I also enjoy listening to smooth jazz and even Barry Manilow. I use last.fm to track the music I listen to (see infobox at right).
