Two 13-year-old boys met at University of Delaware’s 91.3 WVUD in 1995, fell in love with the local music scene, and grew to create the Delaware Music History Archive. That’s right! Delaware’s music history starting 1940 is being compiled virtually to be accessible for future generations, from Duke Ellington in Wilmington to Johnny Cash at the Brandywine Raceway, to your favorite local bands from decades past. #TheGableVerse has your interview with those two boys (now men!) about the project, how it got started, and how you can contribute!
