As MOST of You Guys have seen over the YEARS being a part of "The Discogs Community", I AM NUTS ABOUT MUSIC!!!!! I am also NUTS about Vinyl...I LOVE putting the Music I LOVE into Prospective through my eyes...I am Originally from "The Bronx, NY", but reside in "H-Town -Houston, TX"....As You Guys see, I have VERY INTENSE Opinions of Music, because my LOVE for it is THAT STRONG!!!! I also LOVE to LEARN from others on things that I've NEVER thought about before...I LOVE to talk about Music (as You can see), so it's that, and YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT that FUELS my Reviews!!!!!!
