About rue_the_day
Interests: "rue the day" is the user formerly known as "BlackLionDown". I'm sorry but I didn't give my user name much thought when I initially signed up but because I like DiS so much I decided to give myself a better name, hopefully this will be my last name change.
I love music, my Wife and Son and our dogs and cats. I collect musical gear and formed a band with my Son which (until we have songs) we are calling Upper Scorpios Association.
