Welcome, hpowders, and hope you enjoy your time at GMG. Tell us a little about yourself, if you like: what part of the world you're in, what kinds of music you enjoy, whether or not you like broccoli.

OK, you can ignore the last one.  8)

Hey folks! Thanks for the warm greetings! Many of you I know already!  :)

Feeling my way around here in true newbie fashion.

I love corn and peas. Broccoli and spinach are okay too.

My principal love is the solo keyboard and organ music of JS Bach.

I also love twentieth century music-Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Bartok, Schuman, Persichetti and Ives.

Mahler too!

I have been listening to classical music since I was around 6, so 65 years in total. I will leave it to you to do the depressing math!  :-X

Glad to be here!  :)

Yes! And it was reproduced on something called vinyl.

Yes! Thanks to Maestro Arpeggio, I have found the GMG site. So please address all complaints to him!  :D

Dear Whippersnappy Punk mo fo whippersnapper!

Yea, even before the dial-up days of zInternet, there was classical music, there was even modern and contemporary music that far back.

Thank you!!

Wow! You are living the dream!

I've fantasized about living in Vienna. A bit more sophisticated in musical tastes than Tampa!  ;D

Hello Señor Reckoner!

Check with me tomorrow at 4:17 PM, EST. Should be a done deal.  :D

No seriously. I don't intend to be as prolific over here.

Nothing like a change of scenery, though!  8)
