Hello to old friends and new!

Post by Marc » Tue Sep 26, 2006 10:09 am

So last week I was thinking to myself:

"the EffDeePee ain't what it used to be - where is everyone?"

Apart from a few "My Bridge Rattles" and "Why do you guys like them wierdy geetahs?" and-someone-thinking-they-were-in-the-$tr@t-forum posts there was nothing but virtual tumbleweed.

So Mezcalhead spots me lost in the wilderness and PM's me and here I am! (Thanks Mez!)

SO IS THIS COOL BEANS OR WHAT!!!!!!!  :)

Apologies for my lack of original user name but I've used my real name on the offset forum at the "other place" since 1999 when there was only 12 people on the whole of the internet. I suppose I'd be marc_201888b or something now  ::)

So.... got my first Jag aged 19 through a friend of a friend - £200 for a stripped 66 with case. Had it redone in sonic blue. Then sold it for '65 green guard candy red jag which I stupidly, stupidly traded several years later. I WANT IT Back!

Now I play a '64 JM and '66 XII.

Musically of note I demoed with Beth Gibbon of Portishead in the late 1980's - it was just me and her... we sounded very odd indeed and parted our seperate ways. Beth went on next to a platinum selling debut album  :o and I went on to getting my kooky band "Sourpuss" on John Peel and Steve Lamacq a few times  :-[

I then got caught up in the whole dance/dj/sampler/producer thing for several years and put a few records out on the now no longer "Cup of Tea Records" in Bristol. Much fun was had.

Not up to much at the moment.... we are moving next spring - hopefully Leeds or Liverpool so I'm sure that I'll get involved in the music scene there once we are there. I cannot wait to start doing stuff again actually!

I'm self employed - I'm a web designer - I'm currently working on a few sites for Neil Taylor and Gary Nuttall who are long time guitarists for Robbie Williams no less.

So that's me! Nice to see you all again!

Marc,

I was chomping at the bit to invite you over but it's still a "beta" website so I figured it wasn't my place to do so (that's for the mods and administrator). Glad to see you here!

Michael
