[quote name='KingBollock' timestamp='1342708309' post='1739715'] I finally had to make myself a hat stretcher to get a leather Stetson to fit me. [/quote] oooooo..... leather Stetson.... nice

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1342694490' post='1739364'] Time likes to make you look like your head's on upside down. [/quote] I bet a lot of those guys are wearing hair extensions to make them appear as if they have more hair than they really do

Your story was an interesting read. Glad you are leading a happy and productive life. Always nice to hear these things!

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1342277342' post='1732699'] The ousting of Jon Anderson while he was seriously ill put me right off them as well to be honest. The band, and Squire in particular, lost any respect I had for them with the way they treated him. [/quote] I agree with you. I'm more drawn to the older YES albums, like Close To The Edge and Relayer. Don't even get me started on Chris Squire....

Hi, Chris, I won't be of much help since I'm only learning, but just wanted to welcome you to BC.

Hi, Julien I have a music producer friend who lives in France in Lorgues. Are you anywhere near there? The reason I ask is that he has a 2nd CD coming out from his band, but I know his bass player lives in Italy, so he might be interested in someone who lives closer. The band is MultiFuse. My husband (bass player) played the bass on their first CD. Cheers.

Hello, Eljay, from another American, but I'm on the correct side of the pond. I was an eastcoast USA girl. Glad you enjoyed your time in England. Cheers

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1342451902' post='1735274'] Now you're talking, though sadly I've only seen him once, a long time ago at the Hammersmith Odeon. [/quote] It's great that you got to see him, though. In the old days he was known to do trampoline stuff and acrobatics on stage during performances. lol A lot of people don't realize he used to play with Neil Young's group, which he joined when he was a teenager. He played the piano and guitar on "After the Gold Rush". Since he grew up in my home state of Maryland, local radio made sure to play his music when he formed the band Grin. He's not only a good musician, but a great guy, too, from what I hear others say who've worked with him.

I have no clue about whether it's inherited or not; however, musicians were dominant in both sides of my family. Most of my dad's relatives played instruments, my dad played (or tried to) the ukelele. All my brothers played instruments. My mom's side also did (all my cousins and their father). In fact, my mom's brother used to play trombone in a band down on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Went there to see him. Now my nephew's in a popular band that just finished touring all over the USA.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1342308775' post='1733194'] The first album (KIck Inside) is very inventive and 'The Man WIth The Child In his Eyes' is always a goose-pimple inducing song for me. [/quote] I play that one on regular guitar in order to sing it. Always loved that song, too. I never knew much about Kate Bush until I came over here, but really love her music. When she paired up with Peter Gabriel for "Don't Give Up", it had me all misty-eyed. That's still one of my favourite songs ever.

I'd probably only go to a Springsteen concert to watch Nils Lofgren play. There are only a few songs of Bruce's that I like. Would be much better to just wait until Nils Lofgren tours on his own. I remember when Nils played at our local high schools. Any American gigging over here should take the time to know the laws.

Nice to meet you

Welcome aboard. Nice video
