An introduction and more!

Greetings from soggy Northern California!
My name is Todd Thornton.  I work as the News Director for the Northstate 
Public Radio Network in Chico, CA.  I'm probably the only person in the 
world working at a classical music radio station with Who posters covering 
the walls of my office.  I've been a fan since about 1980 (back when I was a 
boy),and the live releases over the past couple of years have really 
reignited my passion for the group.  I grew up in Los Angeles, and in the 
early 1980's it was hard for me to find a lot of the obscure B-side type 
material that's now become a lot more accessible.  I believe it was Polydor 
that released a couple of rarities albums around that time, and I ate them 
up.
Over the past two years I've picked up the extended Live at Leeds CD, the 
retospective boxed set, and the Isle of Wight CD.  It's a true joy for me to 
now have TWO live versions of "Heaven and Hell" when I once had none.  I'm 
eager to see what's out here on the mailing list...I'm looking forward to 
seeing everybody's postings.
On a somewhat related topic...just last week I found the new CD version of 
the Rainbow Concert!  (I know, I know, I'm well behind the times). 
 Clapton's genuine gratitude to Pete comes through clearly, and the music is 
great.
And, for the record, my favorite song is "Pure and Easy."

That's all for now...I'm going mobile
