Should we be concerned about that?

I don't think it's Waldon.

Loved them in high school (along with Zep), but one day while listening to The Wall, I decided life was depressing enough without such gloomy music. And I've definitely heard all the radio hits enough times (haven't we all). Gilmore is a very musical guitarist, and Live at Pompeii is a trip.

IIRC, Benny came out to a gig we did in Albion last summer.

Tom, what say we all go have a cold one at the Red Rooster Jazz Club!

Meets??? I thought they were married, divorced, and living in Oxnard... Sorry, I was at a loss for words!

I guess this one did see theatrical release. Amazing!

Are tv movies included in this discussion? If so, I nominate "the Phantom of the Park", starring KISS. Scooby-Doo meets... some really bad writing and "acting". Another good one for a hoot with friends.

I guess I just don't understand your point...

I intended to go to bed early tonight. I napped for a bit, sorta, and now here I am at a quarter to 1! Blah! 6 am is going to come early. Goodnight all!

... while the Ibanez patiently awaits its turn. B-) Thanks Jim, I was going to post that myself.

Sometimes things need to be hashed out among brothers and sisters. And I think that some understanding has come from today's postings.

As was noted in another thread, DizzySpells=Deus62

I think we're getting back to normal.

Yes, please. Just a little. Just saw AB's post; I'm also not aware of who got "smeared". Were they not able to stand up for themselves? I'll back people up if I think they've been wrongly attacked, and if I think it's worth the effort. Joe. I asked you before to say it out loud. Tell me to shut up and I will, instantly. I wasn't thinking anything of the kind. I'm just trying to figure out where you're coming from and what it is you're asking of us. The posts by AfricaBrass and Man w/ Golden Arm express pretty much how I feel; that I'm primarily responsible for my own words here. I've also sent apology PM's in the past. And I've occasionally spoken up in defense of another member. I also believe that silence is a statement by itself, although not quite as effective in this situation, because it could be assumed that one simply didn't see what went down. I'm sure that Jim's not going to shut down the board, unless it gets truly out of control. I think the core group here is too strong and too close-knit to let that happen without having something to say about it.

It's getting hot in here. Maybe we should take off all our clothes.

Yes, please. Just a little. Just saw AB's post; I'm also not aware of who got "smeared". Were they not able to stand up for themselves? I'll back people up if I think they've been wrongly attacked, and if I think it's worth the effort.

What can I say? I'm bummed out that it's come to this; that we're contemplating a shutdown of the board (I'm referring to Al's post, and a thought in the back of my head. Jim hasn't mentioned this). Like so many other BB's, in fact. For the most part, I've found it fairly easy to ignore the bullshit and focus on the good. And that puts me with Lon, just asking people to keep offering what they've got to give. It does get hard to be heard above the din sometimes. I'm not interested in train wrecks, trolls, or vendettas, and that's been coming fast and furious lately. Do you think that cooler heads might prevail in time? I'd sure like to believe that.

and the Zappa story...

My sentiments as well, and from the start of this little mess.

DUDE! That guitar looks enormous!

Yes, steer clear of those "rock" picks.

Wow... is that like the butterfly effect or somethin'?

Greg: Jim started a thread a while back requesting venue info as well. Here 'tis... <click>
