While I agree with all the sentiments expressed above, I have one gripe - and that is that the chat and listening to all your music keeps me away from playing my Kn7k and I really need all the practise time I can get. Nevertheless, thanks to you all for your music, advice and company.

I also feel my life has been greatly improved through contacts on this forum and those from the forum before. Just knowing new folks from around the world has opened new doors and sometimes long emails are exchanged between us. I find myself learning facts about people that I would never have come in contact with if not for this forum! It gives me a wonderful sense of well-being that only comes from knowing sincere friendly people who actually care about another person without trying to get their hands in your wallet. I constantly brag about my world-wide contacts and friends, and this seems to find favor with many people. Maybe it's something more folks should try! I just know that someday I'll be walking around a Mall or go into a music store and hear music or a style of playing that will sound familiar and I will finally meet a fellow forum member face to face. What an occasion that will be!
