Welcome! You are visitor #12663 since December 27. 1995.

The photo is of George Thorne, who played Robin Oakapple in the first American production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore. Thorne is shown suffering the agonies that Robin's ancestors inflict on him if he fails to commit a crime every day.

"Oakapple" is the login name I chose with Concentric, my internet provider, because "shepherd" was already taken. In any event, since the main reason I launched this site was to provide a home for information about Gilbert and Sullivan, the name seemed appropriate. Here are some useful G&S links:

• Gilbert and Sullivan Discography.
• The Gilbert and Sullivan Archive.
• Savoynet, the internet mailing list
