Escribano -> GREETING NEW MEMBERS! (Jan. 16 2004 20:07:59)

Today we have a record number of applications to join the forum, so....

1. I would like to greet all new members to foro flamenco and ask that you consider introducing yourselves, if you would be so kind (no pressure, you are welcome to stay quiet). Alternatively, put something in your profile by clicking on My Profile. Be aware that this is in the public domain but I'm working on closing that one.

2. Tell us where you heard about us. A webmaster's natural interest, you understand.

About this Forum
We set up shop after the temporary and unexpected demise of another forum. So there is a cadre of original members with whom I consult on certain issues, of which we have had a few. You might be surprised that we have had any, but do not underestimate how easy it is upset someone, without first engaging gear.

We try not too take ourselves too seriously, but make no mistake, there is a wealth of passion, friendship, experience, talent and knowledge on this forum that is crying out to be tapped or fed. So ask or answer whatever you can.

Welcome to the next best thing to flamenco besides listening to it, playing it or living in Andalusia. Some of our members do all three (the lucky b******s[;)]).

We have collaborated on two global flamenco MP3 tracks so far and a major record label is showing an interest in how these examples of cooperation might be packaged as an Internet service.

You in a group of people ranging from novices, luthiers, semi-pro guitarists, dancers, recording studios, journalists et al.... from Holland, Sweden, Iraq, Australia, Scotland, England, Spain, Belgium, the US and more.

Many of us have also met each other in the physical world, and what a disappointment that can be [;)]

Please enjoy yourselves, respect each other and have fun.

I hate to correct you but I must! It is three MP3's, and we are getting ready for number four. [:)]

As for the "Major Record Label, I have to get a snorkel as it is getting too deep for me, even if I am 6' 7"! [:D]

Very well said, Simon, and I would also like to to say 'bienvenido' to the new members. You can actually express your opinions here without having your head handed back to you. Of course, that's not to say that you won't get an arguement from someone, but at least it will be a civil arguement.

PS. Simon, is it possible to a spell-checker on this forum so that I can properly post words like 'argument'?




Escribano -> RE: GREETING NEW MEMBERS! (Jan. 17 2004 0:29:33)

I thought it was the Tangos and Soleares (four tracks, I think) but two palos, or did I miss one?

As for the record label, it's EMI (through my line of work) and I hadn't mentioned that here before, so don't take the piss or tell anyone (and I'm 6' 8")[:D]

The heck with a spelling checker! How about we write a compiler and compile all messages. Then put it into a debugger?

My question is what can you do about me hitting the wrong keys? [:D]

Put down that chair and whip. I will promise to hit the right keys (sometimes)!




Thomas Whiteley -> RE: GREETING NEW MEMBERS! (Jan. 17 2004 1:39:37)

An interesting thing about this forum is that we seem to tolerate thread drift. Sometimes we talk about flamenco and sometimes we just talk.

We have a few flamenco forums on the Internet. One seems to be made up of dysfunctional elements of society, another I am not sure of and then there is us! No definition exists for us.

Imagine all the talent there is on all three-flamenco forums? Too bad we cannot get along. We might actually do a lot more good if we could cooperate. However, people find his/her own comfort level.

A Spell cheker HA! who needs it !




HMaN -> RE: GREETING NEW MEMBERS! (Nov. 13 2019 15:20:19)

I've been creeping here since 2014 and have learned a lot! I'm commenting now so I can post in the classifieds. Not really a new member per se but first time posting.
