Biographical Facts	Music
My name is Steve Winters. You can get in contact with me by e-mailing to swinters A T basesproduced D O T com. I was born on May 10, 1974 in Alexandria, Minnesota. Career Little League home runs: 1. In 1988, I moved with my family to Arlington Heights, Illinois. My nickname at John Hersey High School was alternately "Snowman" or "Doc." There I played on the tennis and basketball teams and developed a passion for learning languages, linguistics and everything else. There I also met the guy who runs this website. After High School, I went to Pomona College in Claremont, California, and got a B.A. in linguistics, among other things. In college people took to calling me "Swinters". I graduated from Pomona in 1996 and then went straight to grad school in linguistics at Ohio State, in Columbus, Ohio. I specialized in phonetics there and got my Ph.D. in 2003. Now I'm a post-doc at the Speech Research Laboratory at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. For about a year and a half, I was part of a radio show called "The Sports Dawgs" on Bloomington's community radio station, WFHB. These days I go by "Dr. Steve", if anything.	Once upon a time I played drums for The Remainders, a friendly alt-pop/college rock band composed mostly of linguists. We had a lot of fun, as these pictures prove: The Night We All Sucked at Band Practice. The Night the Band put on a show. My last show with the band. We even put out a CD in the Fall of 2001 called Halfway Between Then and Now, to which I contributed a few songs, some pictures, and my modest drumming skills. There are .mp3's from this CD online at The Remainders' current site, in case you're interested in finding out what the band used to sound like. After leaving The Remainders, I put together a couple of solo recordings. The first of these was a track called "Frodo left the Shire" which I wrote for my nephews, David and Jacob. It's been described as "deliciously silly" by one reviewer and "annoyingly catchy" by another. Here's the artwork. I also recorded a cover of "I Love LA" in order to satisfy a bet I made with a Southern California native on the 2002 ALCS between the Angels and the Twins. "This is the sort of cover that would make Randy Newman roll over in his grave, if he were already dead." --Los Angeles Tribune These are the I Love LA pix.
