....and somehow twist Chris' arm into performing a few last shows with you guys so it can be recorded for CD/DVD?

Hey...one can dream, right?

I've never communicated with the guy, but I know Bob Welch is very good about talking directly with fans through his website.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall during those band meetings. A fly with magic powers.

Anyway, Many thanks and love to "All"

It is extremely nice of you to post a "thank you!" Thank you for thinking of our community here, and your endless number of #1 fans here. It is always nice for the Best Bassist in the World to drop in. Please drop in anytime.

I was out of town all weekend, so I know this is late...but Happy Late Birthday John! You're the best..

Hmm. time to some up with money.. (((SIGH)))) but well worth it. But seriously, doesnt something like this give more legitimacy to the Ledge to have an actual band member come in here and post? I'm so glad you did this Lis, you made my day!!

Well shoot, I think Marty and Lis' whole site has been pretty legit for quite some time now what with all of the folks who've stopped by to do Q&As over the years. Many thanks to both them for always pulling this stuff off!

Oh of course I didnt mean to imply that it wasnt, I just think that an actual band member coming in here just adds to it thats all.

I have always been really proud of the Q&A's, although back when Marty first told me we'd be doing the early ones i was like 'Yeah, uh huh, whatever, I'm tired, help me with baby.' LOL. But I often look back on them now and shake my head because they are so cool. I think all the Q&A guests contacted us first, so thanks to all of those good folks!

Thanks, David. I think I've said a few times how John wrote us out of the blue 10 yrs ago when this site first started out to tell us he liked it, so there again shows watta good guy he is, from way back then to now. The cool thing is, I think he was as genuinely surprised by everyone's kind words as we were that he acknowledged them here. so it turned out to be a nice little reciprocal lovefest.

*cough*he's always been my favorite*cough*

no problem. you should be very proud of what you and Marty have done. I dont know what more I can add to that. It's obviously a labor of love.
