Introduction
In 1982 I set-up and established one of the first Bulletin Boards dedicated to musicians. I adapted and modified Computerized Bulletin Board System (CBBS) software by Ward Christensen and Randy Seuss, to work on a Victor Sirius 1 and Hitek 4500 CP/M and CP/M86 Operating
System.
The system was designed for users to read and post messages. This eventually led to the creation of forums, special interest groups in which users could communicate among themselves about specific topics. The system ran for over five years, providing information on all
aspects of music. Later the system was converted to run on a Wren Executive computer.
In 1995 I was the main founder of the Jazz Guitar Discussion Group established on a LISTSERV® based in Germany, JAZZGUITAR-L. See Jazz Guitar Discussion Group
