Hello felllow Wikipedians. My name's Ian but I go by the fictional screen name of Clyde Jimpson of the Arkansas String Beans as it’s more fun. Both the name and band are fictional so I’m not committing any identify theft. I created this account on Wikipedia's birthday. I mainly focus on early modern and industrial era history from about the 1700's-1930’s. I really just jump around when it comes to researching things. I normally stick to various topics regarding early recorded sound and motion pictures, military history and other odd things I find interesting. I usually make a page or two whenever I find something worth making but I am normally quite inactive. My favorite music section is not set in stone as it is hard to pick absolute favorites. The present ones are music I like very much though. Personally, I spend my time on work, reading, building LEGO or otherwise creating things like stories, art or non fiction writing. When I leave this world, I want to go out like Mckinley; singing Nearer My God to Thee.
