Damn, don't you people know that I really DO have a reputation to uphold around here? Threads like these expose my soft & sappy side.
Thanks to:
Marty & Lis Adelson - for creating this place...and...
michelej for taking on the awesome responsibility when Lis & Marty wanted out.
wetcamelfood - for always looking for that rare Fleetwood Mac related disc/tape/record...no matter HOW thinly related to FMac it is. And, for his selflessness in keeping the Penguin Discography as accurate as possible.
David - my partner in Ledgie crime for seemingly ever....and the first Ledgie I ever met in person. How did we go to so many of the same Fleetwood Mac related concerts and never meet? How did we go all those years living less than 2 miles from each other and never seeing each other?? No wonder some of the newer people around here think we're one in the same person.
Miss Vicky - thanks for "having my back" in the countless
Time lineup threads that get out of hand. Plus, it's rare to run into a co-Walter Egan nut.
DavidMn - my birthday share-er & "keeper of the flame". When I finally retired from the blindless Fleetwood Mac concert going, you took up the practice and increased it 10-fold. Your "road stories" were and always will be looked forward to with great anticipation.
holidayroad - for always getting me to admit that, yeah, despite it all Lindsey is a pretty unique (uh..{wince} "good") guitarist.
LukeA - gotta love a cynic...despite our disagreements over the years, and still seeing things from nearly opposite sides, it just wouldn't be the same without ya.
Hayley - you rarely post anymore, but for the times "back in the day".
michelle2677 for restoring in me the faith that not ALL Stevie Nicks fans are "Chiffonheads".
LikeAWillow ok, this is new, but the Joe Joe's thing is a really good start.
And, thanks for appreciating my "curmudgeon-ness".
HomerMcVie - I don't know...I just wanted to type "HomerMcVie".
We'll talk later.
chriskisn - for always keeping Dave Walker in the hearts & minds of our fellow Ledgies
louielouie2000 - more than just sometimes you are the recipient of my "head slap backhands", but if I didn't think you'd take 'em, I wouldn't pick on you so much. You've grown leaps & bounds, grasshopper. (especially when Victoria & I team up on you....Right, Vicky?)
And, to the rest of you...we ALL make this place what it is...so thank YOU!!
And, to my whole long list of Ledgie co-horts from yesteryear who've either decided to move on by their own discretion or who were forceably banned from the joint. I miss you.
Oh....AND...a big thanks to the on-line Fleetwood Mac community as a whole...since there is a big crossover from one site & one message board to another...so, to the owners past & present of those "other sites"....thank you, too.
And, finally,
to my beautiful wife, Susan, who I met here on The Ledge way back in '97 (and who unfortunately eventually ended up one of the "banned"), I love you!
DISCLAIMER: If I don't mention somebody by name, and you think I should have, be patient, I most likely will before this thread dies out.
