Hey blokes, mates, chaps, amigos and all that – I haven’t checked in here for a couple months, but right now I’m sort of wishing that I hadn’t - what a dismal wasteland of a forsaken back alley of the internet this one-time active and entertaning forum has become! Did I just see a tumble weed blow by? I’m seeing new folks posting friendly hello messages with no reciprocated friendly response, and wide-eyed, fresh-faced newbies asking what sort of guitar they should buy with no reply. Wow. Is anybody out there?
As for me, my string band Matt Ray and Those Damn Horses is putting the finishing touches on our first C D (a DOUBLE with 14 originals and 16 covers of old standards), and we have bookings coming up all over the place including a return spot at Harvest Fest in Geneva MN, a sweet gig at The Popcorn Bar in La Crosse WI, and a show at the first annual Mid West Music Fest in Winona MN. I've even been on the radio several times in the last year (playing, NOT singing). My rockin’ electric band is also doing fairly well, and I’ll soon be taking delivery of my first “real” acoustic guitar in the form of a Taylor 310ce custom fitted with Fishman electroniks. Sweet!
I miss the old days when fellows like LeeUK, 1bass, and the others would chide my foolish American ways and teach me strange “foreign” words like “cack” and “naff.” I hope you guys are still drawing breath. Take care!  |

Hi Tim and vitaminE
Glad to hear you guys are doing well, and yes I'd have to agree things slowed down a bit lately, however I'm back now (if you remember me from the distant past) and I hope to stir things up a little.
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get this place rocking again? |
