\n(because of a flood) to a new facility preserving this print, audio, video and other media for use on this site and other related enterprises. In order to get this rolling the reviews from the internet – mostly Allmusic.com, the Medford Trasncript and North Shore Sunday – are collected here via links and text. Unreleased interviews and commentary will be added.Keep in mind there are over 400 hours of interviews from Visual Radio including many Boston rock legends – Victor Moulton, Wayne Wadhams, the G Clefs, Barry Tashian &amp;amp;amp;amp; Billy Briggs of THE REMAINS, Willie “Loco” Alexander, Jonathan Richman, Richard Nolan, Jon Macey, Barry Marshall, Sal Baglio of The Stompers, Andy Pratt and many, many more.This may not be the definitive site on New England music but it certainly is fun, informative and entertaining.
