Hello everyone... My name is Bill Corfield and I'm pleased to officially join this forum. I've followed politics for a long time, enjoy intelligent debate and discussion and the tone of this forum seems agreeable to me. I've been fortunate to work full time as a Musician in the Dayton, OH area for over fifteen years. I specialize in providing live entertainment to Seniors and those who now call Nursing Homes and Retirement Communities their home. I also do several private parties, corporate and civic events throughout the year, which allows me to avoid the bar scene that I've simply grown tired of. Politically, I'm slightly left of center. Topics that particularly interest me include Health Care Reform, National Politics, the upcoming 2012 Presidential Election to name a few. I've also worked in the media and went to college for a Business with a major in Marketing. I have my own blog called, Reasonable Conversation. I invite anyone who is interested to check in from time to time and participate as you wish. I typically post articles, editorials, misc. several times a day. The tone is fairly moderate, hence the title. You can find my blog at: http://reasonableconversation.blogspot.com/ I'm still in the early stages of it, but so far, so good... Thanks for having me here, I hope to contribute... Bill __________________ Bill in Dayton
