"When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high and don't be afraid of the dark. At the end of the storm, there's a golden sky and the sweet, silver song of a lark".—Oscar Hammerstein II (from his 1945 song "You'll Never Walk Alone")
I am a content creator, which basically means I am here to develop articles to the best of my abilities. I also review pending changes and new pages for something else to do. Here are my main areas of interest:
the history of rock, blues, and folk as well as all associated genres - with an emphasis on obscure, but still notable, acts.
the history of early baseball, particularly the Negro Leagues. Occasionally, I will also branch out to other more broad sports topics.
...but every once in awhile I will delve into other areas of interest. When a subject really grabs me, I will do my best to develop it. I am happy to help other editors work on articles and on occasions I will involve myself in GA / DYK processes for articles I feel meet the qualifications.

Gibson's albatross (Diomedea antipodensis gibsoni) is a large seabird in the albatross family, Diomedeidae, named after the Australian amateur ornithologist John Douglas Gibson. It is found principally in the Auckland Islands of New Zealand, foraging in the Tasman Sea, with most individuals nesting on Adams Island. Gibson's albatross is classified as part of the same species as the Antipodean albatross but is generally paler in colour. Adult birds are white on the back, with white plumage on the head and body and fine grey barring. The tail is white with black edges, except in older males, in which it may be completely white, while the bill is pale pink. This Gibson's albatross was photographed in flight off the south-eastern coast of Tasmania, Australia.Photograph credit: John Harrison
