stoney introduction

[stoney]

hi
While this may be a bit late, better late than never.
I have always enjoyed music as far back as I can remember. From the early days of rock n roll to now. Music while not as important to me now as it was,music is still my passion. Old songs return memories and new one spark imagination. While I am not fond of what has happened in the business since napster, I know it will get through somehow. I would like to see this message board explode with members sharing insight,talent and collaborating. Please come back often and bring your friends in music.

Imagine all the musicians sharing online... you may say I'm a dreamer but I hope I'm not the only one......

In a recent Door county newspaper I used the following as a description of myself.

To read me is to know me

scraps of paper,matchbook notes
hand written messaages
in the pockets of my coat
no cell phone to interupt
my random thoughts
no laptop or email
no spam to be fought
I don't seek solutions
nor do I place any blame
success is not my purpose
nor is it to gain any fame
the road I travel
many before have been on
I won't stumble over you
or do something upon
if I get in your way
I will step aside
I won't hamper your progress
or break your stride
no pop star no idol
no corparte guru
will change my mind
I'll leave that up to you
I have no bank account
IRA,Money Market Issues or CD's
you can't sum up my life
by accomlishments of greed
I have made many mistakes
yes they are all mine
i hold no grudges
or let my ego make me blind
no method to my madness
I don't play any games
if your read this far
you might think I'm insane
but if you see me out there
on the trail
just smile and say hi
and may the winds fill your sails

Delighted to see your introduction, Stoney.

Good to have a fellow dreamer here, and I know we're not the only ones.

I look forward to seeing your prose, words that come from the heart as well as the head.

Many happy returns, my friend.

Regards,
Keith

Great intro, Stoney! .. and I caught your Lennon reference, Keith (at least I think it was a Lennon reference!)
