It's been a LOOOOONG time since this message board was hopping. I guess as folks got older, lives changed, free time gets to be few and far between and they go a few days without checking in...... then a few weeks, a few months, year or so and bam! It's no longer a habit to check in and see what's going on in the music world. With Facebook, a lot of music news would go through there and if anyone thought to post it here, most of us already knew. Between this board and the old Classic Rock Revisited board, the few regulars who were left already knew each others' likes and dislikes of almost every possible music category, band catalogs, etc. There just wasn't much to post anymore. Not sure the year, maybe 2017 or early 2018, someone created a thread so the few regulars who still checked in (even if we didn't post) could post their Facebook names to stay in touch that way. Not sure if everyone "friended" everyone who was left, but I was/am Facebook friends with the likes of Mak, DuoJett, Frank, Pete, Ricky, Warpig, Spacel0rd, Smileygirl, Bucky, Trexx........ I think that might be it. I was in-person friends with Smileygirl and Cousin-it before they became members here. Unfortunately, both of them passed away. Cousin-it's name was Chris. I forget his last name, I only really knew him through Smileygirl. He passed away around 2018 or 19. Smileygirl's real name was Crysty, she passed way in January of 2022. I had actually lost contact with her for years, but reconnected in 2015 through Facebook. Warpig passed away this past February. His real name was Randall. Don't really talk or interact with anyone other than Mak, Frank and Bucky anymore, though every once in a while Ricky or DuoJett will post on Facebook or Trexx randomly "like"s one of my Facebook posts.
As for HERE, I randomly stop in and scroll through the archives of threads past and pick certain ones to check out what we were talking about or arguing about and see if my opinions are still the same LOL. I post new threads at random, mostly new music/artists that I've discovered. Once in a while Mak or a new member or guest will respond. I don't know why I still do it. I guess I just have such great memories of this place and the comradery that we had in regards to music. I hate to totally let go and the only chance to get anything like the old days going again is to post shit and see what happens!
Anyways, welcome back Kim! Welcome back any of the other old members! And welcome to any new members or guests! If you like Classic Rock, I've posted a bunch of threads in the music section of NEW bands who I THINK carry on the Classic Rock sound. Check 'em out and tell me if I'm right or if I need to buy a clue LOL!
