Headed towards a Journalism major in college, I got sidetracked by the realization that Editor is not an entry-level position. Wikipedia became my opportunity to be an editor; to correct and serve as a member of the grammar police force. Son of RML (talk) 17:42, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Wine and popular music are the main subject areas where I visit and occasionally contribute or edit. Son of RML (talk) 17:26, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Background Experience

edit

Following college, I entered into Retail Sales Management to pay off my student debt and discovered wine as a pleasant recreation. That began a 40+ year career in sales (retail & restaurant) and (wholesale) marketing with dabbles along the way in production and education (Enology 45: Introduction to Sensory Evaluation of Wine at California State University Fresno, 2002-2011).

Wine Culture (IMHO)

edit

General over-emphasis on romance and mystery tend to promote snobbery. Over-simplification of the complex subject of wine tends to promote myth and ignorance. I am here to share my love, experience, and understanding of wine as a sensory experience with the public. Son of RML (talk) 17:31, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Musical Taste

edit

As a collector of popular music (primarily from 1960-1990), I find the biographies and histories of composers, writers, musicians, and performers to be very engaging and interesting. I believe many of these artists have been denied the credit their material deserves, simply because their recorded works didn't penetrate the "Top 40" bubble of radio play.
