Well Mike...I don't know if this is gonna sound corny, but a lot of my friends....are right here on the Zone....and I've never even met them, but I think of them as friends because we've shared concerns, helped one another through some rough times, and have agreed to disagree at times.
For me too...my best friend, is my lady Cathy. I've got a lot of musical aquaintances that I think of as good friends 'cos they know where I'm coming from.
Together, Cathy & I have many friends although there are times that I could do without some of their "poor me" feelings, or complaints, only because I know if they got their sh*t together, they wouldn't be suffering from "poor me" syndrome.

As always....your friend...shboom
