About me

edit

I am a 16-year-old male music enthusiast from the UK who has worked professionally as a musician for over 20 years. I've also written music reviews and articles for a number of well known publications and online music sites. My user name is derived from the title of one of my all-time favorite songs, "Butcher's Tale (Western Front 1914)" by The Zombies, which is an anti-war song set during World War I on the Western Front. It specifically mentions Gommecourt, Thiepval, the woods of Mametz and Verdun in France, where key battles were fought.

My favorite bands and artists are beat, folk rock, british blues, pop, and psychedelic acts from the 1960s, including The Beatles, The Byrds, Love, The Doors, The Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, Manfred Mann, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Animals, The Hollies, Buffalo Springfield, Jefferson Airplane, and Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd. I'm also into indie and alternative rock from the 1990s up to the present day. However, these popular music genres and artists that I've mentioned only cover the smallest fraction of the types of music I'm interested in overall. My tastes are pretty broad and encompass everything from country blues to big beat and Indian classical music...and all points in between.

My motivation for editing Wikipedia is that I feel that music is extremely important and as such, articles relating to styles of music, albums, singles, record labels and individual artists or bands should be impeccably maintained and display the utmost accuracy. I hope to do my bit to ensure that articles are free from any factual inaccuracies, presented in an unbiased, encyclopedic fashion, and feature multiple inline citations.ButchersTaleWesternFront1914Floral (talk) 01:09, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
