Tedster Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 Or are things r-e-a-l-l-y S L O W I N G D O W N around here? I mean, surf over to the other forums and the joints are jumping...but here, there were hardly any posts yesterday at all. We're not losing interest, are we? WE'RE NOT ABOUT TO BE SHOWN UP BY A BUNCH OF...BUNCH OF......(ACH) KEYBOARD PLAYERS, ARE WE?????? WELL, ARE WE??????!?!?!?!?!? I mean, there are tons of topics we could cover. And a lot of the other forums are nice and loose about staying on topic, realizing of course, that although we're musicians first...we all have other interests as well. So, how about it?

strat0124 Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 Ted....life gets in the way of alot of things. School is starting back up, summer dwindling down, end of summer vacations, etc. In my own case I only mess around here at work, while I download schematics for my company...takes forever so I mess around the web and suck up a little more bandwidth! hahahaha. I rehearse with two, sometimes three bands/groups during the week, mega yard work, I cook almost every meal my family eats at home, and sometimes I come home and want some Zenlike quiet time....no electronics...no nothing. You can tell when you are here too much.....posts start getting like long Chinese proverbs interlaced with Allen Ginsberg rants and electronic engineering terms.....not counting me...I'm way too simple for that! But I do get bored....and write crazy stuff like anyone else. I come here to find kindred spirits, not to show everyone how good or smart I am....and that's probably the majority here. Oh Ted......I can draw a horsie too! Ha Ha....man I still laugh at that one.

Tedster Posted August 23, 2001 Author Share Posted August 23, 2001 Oh sure, Strat, I have the same thing. Oldest boy started college, youngest boy giving me grief about not wanting to play soccer this year (junior in high school) because his loser buds aren't...daughter playing tennis...yep, I understand the life bit. I wasn't pointing fingers at anyone in particular, just noting that this particular forum seems slower than some of the others.

My son is 17 and daughter 15, and it is a FARKING challenge to say the least. Yeah I didn't mean to imply you were pointing fingers (did I?), but yeah I agree. Some of the posts I think are really cool, noone responds to. But then you'll get a post that is, to me, quite silly, and get fifty replies. I dunno. Maybe I'm just getting old. : ) Down like a dollar comin up against a yen, doin pretty good for the shape I'm in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted August 23, 2001 Author Share Posted August 23, 2001 I was looking for a .gif of Homer with a lampshade on his head...but I couldn't find one... LOL at Scott...boy...it's too bad you can't "temporarily" neuter teenage boys...give 'em their gonads back when they're ready to walk down the aisle...I've got two teenage sons and a teenage daughter myself.

My daughter is blonde blue eyed tan, surfer, on the swim team...and the phone rings off the hook with "is Erin there?". But she is intelligent and already a stong young woman, so I don't sweat it too much. I just tell the guys who do come over that I have a shovel and a pistol. In jest of course.

sbrock1san.rr.com Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 The guitar Forum really has slowed down. I rarely start topics on this forum so I am partly to blame. I hear things are jumpin' over at Guitar.com. I learned that Tool still sucks...or do they rock ? I forget http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif I heard a fairly new Eric Clapton song in a restaurant last night and it made me think of the Clapton thread that went on here. It was such a simple, beautiful pop song and it even had a nice acoustic guitar solo. The guy may or may not be a guitar great...but damn he is MUSICAL.

LAPetrarca Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 I go to the "other forum" all the time. While it might seem like there's alot going on there, there's a lot of "spam" postings going on there. Many of the threads are not even worth reading since they mostly flame people, instruments and bands. IMHO, many of those threads have lost sight of the real reason we come to these forums. That's to help each other out and talk about music related things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFTurner Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 Welcome back Ted. Yes this forum run pretty slow without you. I don't get too worried when any of the forums slow down. I figure maybe it's because we're all actually maybe working on a project. When I got a project going such as now, I manage to read at least once a day but often have trouble slowing down long enough to jump in on anything. When you see me posting alot it's usually a time when I should be getting that next project started http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif ------------------ William F.

grumpy Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 only get to post once in a while....be working the rest of the time// but always check this forum for the bright and witty things that musicians can think of... I believe that this forum has more dignity than the others....we already own our equipment and mostly it's the gear most of the other forums are talking about....we've paid our dues....and so spend more time doing what we do than talking about it.... laters life is toooo short to play crappy guitars !!
