[boc-l] And now... a word from our sponsor

[Bernhard Pospiech]

Hi Jill, Arin and Mike

 

The tour was excellent.

Dropping DeadFred was a good idea.

 

The sound is now much fresher!!

Daves guitar is just awesome

Haz is doing a good job

I hope they will release a CD from this tour

 

 

Cheers

Bernhard

I miss the community we used to have here as well.  It seems much of that conversation and camaraderie that used to be here has shifted onward to FB.

 

So, onto some actual HW-related content:

 

Now that the gigs are mostly done for the tour; what did everyone think?  Still listening to the new album on repeat?  Waiting for the single?  

 

Thx,

 

Arin

Thanks Terry - that was efficient!   While not hugely comfortable with banning someone completely I am definitely not at all comfortable with the stuff I've been removing en-masse recently and would probably have unsubscribed by now if I could only remember how to do so!  However given that this is a moderated list I would be entirely happy if there was some kind of automatic filter to stop the worst of the dross before it reached my screen and because I know this list and have been here since space knows how long, I place my trust entirely in the judgement of the moderators as to what that dross may be without destroying the integrity of this list.  Here there is still a relaxed freedom and ease of reading that isn't really available elsewhere so I'd be sorry to lose it completely and it would be nice to get back to the easy comfort of reading and enjoying the occasional message as it drifts in.            

cheers

Jill
