Glad To Be Back

It's so weird to see all the "Fair Warning" chat . . . I honestly had no idea of the Van Halen album when I adopted that phrase as the first movement of my viola sonata.

Yeah, but your violin sonata is probably jamming too, Karl.

Sigh!!  It's viola, not violin.  Blasphemy!!

Heyyy, a viola sonata. That sounds interesting!

[Maciek]

Weren't you about to start learning the viola and cello a few (3?) years ago? How did that go?

Welcome back, real nice to see you posting again!

It went abysmally, but the actual study of those instruments helped me alot in my writing.

Great to hear from you!

Hey, Andy, welcome back!  Sorry to hear of troubles, but hope you things are better--music often helps, as you know.

Anyway, glad to see you again.

Thanks so much to Bruce and Que! It seems better than ever here.

It gets better each day!  I wonder if a return from M Forever or Bob Newman would receive the same rousing, warm welcome?

Reminds me of Seinfeld: "Hello, Newman".

Is Bob the same dude that went on for pages and pages about Mozart being a fake? Doesn't he torment some other forum as well?

I always wondered if M Forever was one of the other GMG forum members' alter ego. He just seemed too stridently negative, too much like a cartoon character, to be just one member.

LOL, me too.

Don't know you Andy, but welcome back! Anybody who enjoys Bruckner is alright in my book!

Look forward to getting to know you.

Well, I must be in the right place! Nice to meet you, John!

I'd say he was Henning's alter ego, except there was an alleged photo of them together.  Come to think of it, they looked almost identical.  Maybe it was Photoshop'd.

(Oh . . . .)

Hmm... to me, it was more cheap entertainment to look forward to than torment.

I agree, but there was something that reeked of the desert about him as well (to paraphrase Nietzsche). He seemed like one of those guys who was so up his own butt he never came out for air. Claustrophobic feelings in his presence, like he was trying to drag you into his tiny, tiny crawlspace.

True.  Or, just flat-out wacko.

Andy, welcome back! You're a remarkable person. Always nice to read your posts, although I avoid anything that has to do with Wagner. My first classical cd was a Wagner recording, have to look it up.

This is an equally good way to put it.

Hi! From what I recall, you happen to like several other things that I do.
