The Man Who REALLY Made This Website Possible

Hint:  It’s not me, though I had something to do with it. Another hint:  It’s not Duke, though he had quite a lot to do with it. Last hint:  It’s not the Band.  (Besides, I said “man” singular so the Band as a group is out.)  But yeah, the Band had a little something to do with it, too. Who’s the real hero?  It’s this guy right here:   I knew him as both a captain and a major, but Ron Youngs is really the guy to thank.  He recorded every concert, every record and every other audio-worthy event during … Get your chin in and keep reading…

… because I updated the software that controls the appearance of the site today.  Unfortunately, it was not a smooth transition, but everything seems to be back where it belongs even if the colors aren’t a match with what they were.

Thanks in advance! Dan
