Nobody likes criticism (es- pecially me!) but it’s how we learn & grow. To that end, we wondered if you could spare a few minutes of your time to answer a few questions about RGG? Whether you only want to read about one genre of mu- sic or are open to anything, we know we can’t please all the people all of the time but we’re dedicated to improving our lit- tle publication as much as we can and we are open to your sugestions on how we might do that.
