I’m the founder and solo archivist behind [Showco Archives](https://www.showcoarchives.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com), an independent preservation project centered on “The Family Behind the Music.” As the daughter of longtime Showco sound engineer Donnie “DK” Kretzschmar, I grew up surrounded by the people, stories, and culture that helped define rock ’n’ roll touring. Through oral histories, rare memorabilia, backstage ephemera, and alumni stories, I work to preserve the human side of SHOWCO.
