"So, how was MASH?"

In the late 90's, the internet was still in it's infancy/toddler years with many having to use their landline to connect. But one man named Guy Kendall, a metal fan with a family decided to launch a group e-list that would consist of fans, musicians, media writers, promoters, and so many others inbetween.

The group slowly grew starting in early 1998, with Euphony Music News arranging a meeting of people from the e-list at a fan's home in Lakewood, with photos of certain persons featured in that respective magazine. I was there, and loved the passion everyone had. Many shows were promoted, many subjects/topics/etc. had various opinions. But on April 20th, 1999- this elist was a vehicle for Keith Spargo to relay news of a real crisis.

These were the ones who played what others wanted- and I have specific questions and topics aimed strictly towards them. COMMENTARY NOT PERMITTED PLEASE.

This archive pays tribute to the ones who mixed the live music venues.
