Rotten Strawbs
The Rotten Strawbs are an up and coming duo that plays an eclectic mix of original music and covers. A lot of presence for two guitars.
Cruising the Internuts
I was not one of those that grew up on the internet. Indeed, the internet grew up on me. I was something of a geek back then, though a cool one I’m sure. My very first job as a contractor working with the government was an assignment down at the Washington Navy Yard reviewing ARPANET plans and creating a series of 3 reports related to its planning and feasibility.

I don’t know where its been or who it belongs to. It’s just there…
