Salutations All
 

Hello,

My name's Curt. I'm in America. I registered here a while ago and spent a little while lurking. Now that I've posted a few times, I decided to introduce myself since the opinions I have expressed haven't gotten me banned (thus far). So it goes...In any case, I've been a record collector for thirty five years. In general, we old record collectors tend to be somewhat opinionated. I hope no one's feelings get hurt, it's just that being a record collector for a lot of years means that I've listened to a GREAT deal of music (both good and bad). It's not always easy to see things from the other guy's (or gal's) perspective. Please hold back the tar & feathers...at least until I do something really offensive. I promise to try to play nice. I'm probably making myself sound worse than I am. I'm not an ogre after all. I'm a rooster.

Welcome to MB (officially.)

What are some of your favorite bands/artists?

Thanks for the welcome. I like so much music that some times it's easier to start with the genres without getting too specific. For instance, I really enjoy Freakbeat (a British style that stood side by side with Psychedelia - a few groups: The Attack, The Birds, The Factory - some of the groups only had a single or two)

Jazz: pretty much all of it from Cakewalk and Ragtime to Cool, Hard Bop and Free Jazz with one or to exceptions.

Blues: Country Blues through today though the "today" part tends to be very selective.

Psychedelia: All of the usual suspects.

Acid Rock: All of those West Coast bands (North And South)

Country: Mostly the kind played on wooden instruments and Bluegrass.

and lots of other stuff.

Welcome, rooster. I hope you enjoy your stay here. And if you have any queries, feel free to message myself or anyone else.

will do, should the need arise.

and thanks.

Welcome aboard! It's great to see a fellow jazz fan around, especially one who digs early jazz.

Well Thanks, Nice to meetcha

Yeah, I can hold my own regardless of the jazz era, but I definitely dig some ragtime and Hot jazz. it's good for what ails you.

Welcome aboard. Don't worry, we'll spare the tar & feathers for now ;) People get opinionated, it happens, as long as you're prepared for someone to voice their own opinion(s) on the subject.

I already have the feathers, just keep the Tar far away and in sealed container. That stuff flammable, you know.

As for the rest I appreciate the wise advice but you need fear not for my safety good minstrel, for I am a Veteran of Forum Wars.
