I'm Julie, a native of Southern California and a fan of the band since the beginning, I'm sure as with many of you I grew up hearing them on the radio and then later buying the albums for myself; I don't think there's been a year since '72 that I haven't listened to them. I was too young to see them live during the original era but I did see them during the resumption. My favorite album is On The Border; I tend to prefer the earlier years although I have my favorites from the later years too. And Don and Glenn are equally my favorite members.
I enjoy all kinds of music; I love prog rock and jazz especially. I've been active in different online fandoms for over a decade, I co-moderate some other message boards and write articles for fansites and blogs, and I'm glad to be here!
