    OT: seeking Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area living info

    in The Keyboard Corner

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    My first post here since the incredible transformation!!!

     

    I am seeking sage advice/insight on where I should consider renting in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area of North Carolina. I am selling my Detroit-area home and relocating to Noth Carolina. My wife passed away early last year and it is time to make a change, and since I love sailing my great lakes sailboat I want to use it year-round rather than for 6 short months.

     

    I still want to work and know there are are great opportunities in the Research Triangle, while berthing my sailboat in Morehead City.

     

    So here is my ask: where is a good area for me to check out for living? Initially, I will rent, as I do not want to buy just yet. That will come later.

     

    I want to live where the action is or at least a thriving music/arts community as I am now single with kids all grown.

     

    Any info you can provide will be deeply appreciated!

     

    Rock and Roll.

     

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Do you have a place on the forum where we can donate to the cause?

    Not at the moment...but I'm not sure we need it right now. :idk:

     

    The idea is to keep the forums looking and acting like they always have. I'm thinking a single banner at the top with rotating advertisers will cover the expense of the forums as well as - gasp - paying moderators.

     

    The plan is for there to eventually be another separate area with editorial content (run by Steve Fortner) along with a marketplace where people can buy and sell music (sellers keep 100% of the revenue), services and goods. Think Keyboard mag, but with better ads and offerings. There are other folks who will come in to help with the other forums, some of which will probably get pruned.

     

    We have a few other ideas....but the first goal is to get the forums preserved, migrated and upgraded.

     

    Now bring back SWEAT??? ;)

    With who moderating...? :evil:

    A young suitor visits his girlfriend's house for the first time. The father meets him at the door and after sizing him up, allows him in to the living room. "Please, have a seat. I'm sure Betty Sue will be down shortly." At this point the family dog, a large German Shepherd lays down at the boy's feet. That's got to be a good omen, the boy thought. The boy and her father exchange pleasantries but the boy realizes that he's got to cut a seriously nasty fart. He's able to do the one-cheek-sneak into the upholstery.The father catches a whiff of this, looks down at the dog and yells, "Duke!" The boy is overjoyed. Not only has he gotten away with it but the family dog is catching the heat for it. So he figured he may as well clear himself out. He cuts another seriously funky fart. "DUKE! yells the dad. The boy is positive he's in the clear, but he'd like to really clear himself out before the big date, so he pushes out one really, nasty, hair-curling, milk-curdling, air biscuit. "DUKE!!" the father says, "Would you move before that guy shits on you?"

    And here is Robert'sreply:

     

    Hi Paul,

    What polish do you use on your Stealth TT? I want my maintenance people to start polishing my Viper, now that the weather is improving.

     

    I am really looking forward to getting our band started as soon as possible! As you can see I am really into making it happen! My last band, the Jaded Boners, took 5 years to get the first rehearsal in! So you should be happy I am giving you so many opportunities for my valuable time! Unlike bass wankers, we keyboard playa's don't grow on trees. (lol, I am SO funny!)

     

    Your bandleader and superstar,

    Robert

    Let's hear it!!! Post your music here!

    Greetings from Pittsburgh --

     

    If you want to check it out....

     

    4 band originals on myspace at www.myspace.com/erinburkettthemeanreds

     

    Two tunes are overdubbed with Yamaha P-80 and B3/122

     

    The other two recorded live analog on 1/2" tape

     

    The tune "Take Me There" featured a small gospel choir, which really grabs me.

     

    Thanks for learning more about us!

     

    Jeff

     

    I really liked the song Blade of green. Nice harmonies!

     

    I agree!

     

    Next time I am in Pittsburgh I want to catch your show..
