Expertise
I'm able to answer just about anything relating to the band and their music. I've answered many questions where other Floyd experts have failed to answer or answer correctly.

Experience
I've been an avid Floyd fan/collector for 30 years, since I was 8 years old. The sounds and sights of Floyd have a huge effect on my life. I'm a Radio Personality in Boston for a legendary rock station, WAAF as well as host and producer of the first and only Pink Floyd podcast called "Brain Damage - the definitive Pink Floyd radio show" at floydpodcast.com
