LLU--- Lurking Ledgies Unite!

riff_Shuffler · #1 06-17-2005, 12:28 AM

Hi, All!

To celebrate my 100th post (yes, it took me awhile

), I wanted to send out a call, to all fellow "lurkers" here on the Ledge, who either post infrequently (like myself) or who have *never* posted, but want to make amends!

Introduce yourself, maybe mention why you love the Ledge and what brings you here (whether it be in the shadows, or "full monty" for all to see!

). I'm here first and foremost, for my love and admiration of Stevie and her works. She inspires so much within me, both artistically and as a person.

The attached pic was taken in Vegas, 5-13-05. My friend Olga and I, with Brett Tuggle, who was simply *awesome*...so gracious and warm.

Well, I'm not a Lurker, but I just had to congratulate you on achieving "Senior Ledgie" status. "Addicted Ledgie" is just around the corner now!

Glad you finally posted the pic, too... ya handsome devil.

Ok, off to bed I go.

After checking out the posts over here off and on for several years, and two prior attempts to join The Ledge, I finally made in tonight! I'm fairly good with computers but for some reason, I could never make my account work correctly. I hid under the philosophical belief that perhaps it just wasn't meant to be or I'm just lazy.

I know so many of you from other boards, prior chats, concerts, and other internet destinations. So, hello to my old friends and all soon to be friends! It's great to be here.

I've been a fan of Stevie and Fleetwood Mac since I was a teenager in the 1970's. I simply adore her. I have a zillion stories as to why I adore her and a ton of memories that are tied to her and her music.

I look forward to hanging out with you guys!

Peace & Passion,
Patty

Thank you, Justin! You are a remarkable young guy...and you add a whole lotta thought and care to the Ledge!!

The numbers of posts mean little, obviously... it's the passion for our favorite band and its members, and the friendships that emerge from the experience, that do count!

And welcome, Patty! FINALLY! LOL

Computers can definitely make you

!! Let's see how many Lurkers follow our lead!

Can I just say your picture made me scream out loud?

That is AWESOME!

What brings me to the Ledge? Brett Tuggle.

Seriously. I saw the Mac at Dallas and Houston '03 and both times I was right behind him. Had I paid more attention I could have told you exactly what key he was playing in. (Beautiful Child is in B major if memory serves, but that's all I remember.) Something in the back of my mind told me I needed to pay more attention to him because he would have a major influence on my life. So I did. And I figured out exactly what it is I want to do with my life -- exactly what he does. I have never felt more strongly about music than I do right now. And it's not just a dream anymore, it's possible. If I have any say in it, it's going to happen. If I hadn't found out about Brett, I would still be asking questions and wondering if this was reasonable. I would have settled for a major in special ed and told myself that was what I had to do because it was what I was supposed to do according to everyone around me. But this is my life to live and I'm going to do what I love somehow someway -- and it won't be easy, but I know I can do it. I'm up to the challenge now.

Brett is by far my biggest inspiration -- and he knows it, too.

I've got a long road ahead of me, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

Hey Kortni ~ yes, Brett is an amazing guy. I'm still learning more about him. I had no idea that I would walk back up to the theater doorway, 25 minutes AFTER the concert, and find him standing there with fans!! I was floored...and even more so when he so graciously posed with us. You always expect a rock star to be unapproachable, or a let down to meet in person. He was neither; just very, very cool.

~Good luck to you! You gotta strive for your goals, no matter big or small. I try to remember that all the time. Settling for something is just NOT an option, in my book! LOL

Thanks for the welcome Josh and for starting this thread! Hey Kortni - I remember talking with you back in the Burnish days. Everytime I see or read anything about Brett, I think of you. Have you been in touch with him at all since the Say You Will tour? Did you get questions in at the Q&A with him on this site? Are you going to Houston and Dallas again this summer? Do you have good seats?

I really, sincerely hope that you do hook up with him someday and are able to spend a few minutes visiting with him. I think it is really cool that he has such a loyal fan.

I'm crossing my fingers and clicking my heels for you!

Patty

JanelleA22 · #12 06-17-2005, 08:50 AM

Hi,
My name is Janelle and I lurk!

I hope I can be forgiven for this heinous crime!

I am here because I've been a FM and Stevie fan for as long as I can remember...I grew up on their music because my Mom was a huge fan. I didn't begin to fully appreciate the music until around 1997 when I lost my Mom. It really got me through some tough spots. I couldn't go to The Dance tour, and I was so bummed because I thought they'd never come back! Imagine my excitement when they announced the new tour, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. I went to all the MI shows...and had front row for Grand Rapids. It was phenomenal! I only wished my Mom was there to share it with me. Bittersweet, I guess.

Anyway...that is why I'm here! You all are great, and I love reading the posts. Sometimes it's hard to just jump in, without knowing anybody. I am kind of shy and to me it's like being in a room full of people and walking in on someone's conversation. That's just not something I would do. So anyway, please forgive me for lurking...I mean no harm!

I like Brett too

Even though I sound like a 5 yr old I asked him this on his Q & A....

Hi Brett! I think you are wonderful! I have admired you for awhile. My question is...ARE YOU MARRIED or DATING anyone? You are so damn hot! (Dreaming Always, New York, USA)

Ahhh shucks. You're kind of nice yourself. I have a family at home and I'm a very lucky man indeed. But hey, Neale and Carlos are unattached....
