Topic: Look everyone.....It's RKO

'Sup Everybody ?

RKO here...my actual name is Ron but i've been called RKO since i was 5 (long story)
Originally from "D" troit, i now reside in the "burb" of "D" troit, Macomb Township.
Been in music or music related business since 1970.
Played guitar in a few local bands from 1970-1982, then went into a semi retirement (also known as "i got married") Then a nasty divorce got me back into the music business where i have a Management/Promotion company where i manage and do booking for local acts in the metro Detroit area.
I've met a lot of people along the way...Joe, Chris Duarte, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Warren Haynes, Kid Rock, Steve Vai & Joe Satriani to name drop a few...
I'm related to Wayne Kramer (formerly of the MC5) but please don't hold that against me & if he owes any of you
money....sorry i can't help !  I 1st heard of Joe when he was in Bloodline & have been following him ever since.
Currently working on a Blues Festival this summer in the Thumb area of Michigan....
Blues on the Beach...this year featuring,  Joanna Connor, Chico Banks, Matt Besey & Big Smooth.
The loves of my life are my family, my wife Deebz, my 2 daughters Jen & Jess, my granddaughter "Mayer", my `59 Les Paul, some Johnnie walker "Blue Label" on the rocks, AND JOE CRANKED TO 11 on the stereo.

Glad to meet you all....

Hey Ron....you've got great taste in scotch! I've had the blue label before. Great stuff,  but to be honest, my taste buds can't recognize that much of a price difference. I usually stick with the black label.
Glad to meet you too!
