You guys!

First of all, let me congratulate you on that cool animated avatar. I blinked exactly as the moment when the faces switched and thought, "Did I see tha.." and then the faces switched back again.

This welcome back has been so heartwarming. When I retired in 2008, having neglected music for decades but knowing that I had limited time to squeeze the career into, the first thing I needed was a place to play. Actually it was the second thing, because the first thing was to find out if I had any chops left at all. I had heard of BIAB but didn't know it came equipped with the bonanza of the PG Forums. You play music because you have to. Same for me. I knew I would never make a dime playing the kind of stuff I do, which I consider "music for musicians." When I found folks like you, who could talk back to me intelligently about music that requires intelligence, and human and kind to boot, I knew I had found home.

All the best to you in the New Year. I'll be back as soon as I can come up with an original, which may be a while because I'm not the songwriter that each of you are.
