Oldies/Expert Profile
Expertise
I have been an expert on the oldies for many years, having grown up in that era and accumulating a rather large record collection. My greatest expertise is in the areas of Doo Wop and the music of the 60`s. What I do not remember I can usually find in my vast collection of music source books.
Experience in the area
I have been one of the most reliable sources of oldies information on another well-known site.
