All this coming and going by me in GMG is outrageous.
Fact is I am almost always listening to something, and often have something to say on it.
I just keep fading away from GMG for very long spells, with no reason whatsoever.
Renewed subscription, decided to talk about what I love no matter how ameteurish or wildly exaggerated my comments may become.  One doesn't know a good thing until one does without it, and that includes GMG for me.
Nice to be back.  Now I can (again...) launch into more senseless prattle and unqualified, yet profound  ??? edicts on the soundtracks which fill so much of my life!
;) ;D

Johnny; we missed ye sure! Someone crack open the Glenmorangie and put a haggis in the oven; John's back!  :)

Prattle, perhaps, but not senseless.  Profound, perhaps, but not unqualified. At least, no more unqualified than any of us.

And I do have a bottle of a Speyside handy.

It's wonderful to have you you back, Johnny Boy! I can speak for myself when I say I have missed your commentaries and musings on music. Welcome back.

Yes, good to have you back again.  :)

John, you belong to the family, no matter if you have been travelling around a year or even more. Keeps things fresh and alive.

John of Scotland is big, bad, and back in action!   ;)

If one is "outrageous" now and then, I find that a not necessarily unpleasant quality!   0:)

At times, outrage is the only correct response!  8)

And again John faded out of the picture.....
Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.
