c_s: Describe a typical day at SplashHall and BZoo?
Rg: Well it starts about 7am, I have my list of do's but then a zillion other things come up. It ends about 11pm with about half the do's list completed.

c_s: How many hours a day do you devote to your domain?
Rg: Do the math, Blondie, and times it by 7 days ..I am totally consumed with backend techie and managerial stuff. both, SplashHall and BZoO are real job(s), not something I do in my spare time. I literally do the work of 3-4 employees. Just this morning I have spent appx 5 hours just answering emails. I haven't even turned on my messengers yet.

c_s: Have you ever banned or expunged anyone?
Rg: I think we (notice I said we, not I) had to ban two people out of 5 years and about 3,000 come and go members. Both have since been reinstated. One of them actually asked to be banned. lol ..I guess he thought he would get 3 squares while being banned.What does expunged mean?

c_s: Who are your favourite poets, other than me?
Rg: Trust me darling, I only read your poems. I am a one - woman man.

c_s: You're a Michigan man. How did you end up in Kentucky?
Rg: Kentucky? Jesus! Jesus did this to me. He hates me.

c_s: How many bandanas do you own?
Rg: Hmmm ..last count was 22 in about ever color under the sun. I even have one with Donald Duck, another one for erotic nights.

c_s: Spare me the details, Rg. I implore you! Is it true you can play the saxophone?
Rg: Well not very well or I would be in a band. But I can toot the sax, trumpet and French horn. I bet you like the French horn ;-)

c_s: Is it true you've taught ballroom dancing?
Rg: For about 3 years. The samba and tango are my favorites. The waltz come in a close third. Of course from those days there has been a lot of variants mixed with free styling.

c_s: Is it true when you visited Witt, you poached a few of her chickens?
Rg: No no no (Princess you want me to get shot? hush now please) Cross my heart spit on my dad's grave, the only thing I took was a couple jugs of that Lake Wateree brandy.

c_s: Which begs another question, what's your favourite drink?
Rg: Besides Lake Wateree 'shine? Canada's best - Black Velvet straight up on the rocks.

c_s: When do you relax?
Rg: In between keystrokes.

c_s: Why do you call yourself the "janitor"? Is it because you're always cleaning up after me?
Rg: I'll take the 5th on this one.

c_s: What is your vision for SplashHall in the short-term?
Rg: Over the next 12 months you will see the dynamics of SplashHall and BZoO HomeGrown Radio change significantly. Just to tease you a bit, a little clue or peek into SplashHall's future.. You may know that recently I have added the Red Brick Cabaret, a performance venue. Imagine being able to physically visit all three in the real world.

c_s: My imagination cannot take such radiant leaps, Rg! How has SplashHall evolved over the years?
Rg: Consider this, in the beginning there was the word and the word was SplashHall. From the word came 7 SplashMembers, 6 that were SplashHost. We just went over 800 members at SplashHall. We have over 2000 musicians in the BZoO Radio repertoire. I have just added a Performance Director to the Red Brick Cabaret. You do the imagery.

c_s: Umm.... You want me to do the imagery or the math?.... Thanks, Rg, for this behind the scenes look at the founder of the SplashHall Media Community. You've done a lot for us, so please know that we love you. Bisou.
