Step Forward and Identify Yourself

Hi Paul, I'm a displaced Englishman from Newcastle living in Cincinnati.

I think there are a fair few of us about. How long have you been transplanted?

Hi Paul, I'm a displaced Englishman from Newcastle living in Cincinnati.

I've been in the States about 15 years, the first 10 were in Connecticut and the last 5 in Ohio. The whole family are now dual citizens and as the kids grew up here I can't see me leaving any time soon.

[Kim Olesen]

I'm Mark and I have a prog rock, metal, and electronic music podcast called Progtopia. Somehow I'm just now finding this site! I promise to contribute and not just be a shill for my show, although you're more than welcome to visit the site and listen.

Hi Mark :-)

[Sunlight Caller]

Hello, no user name change here, I've had it since Peog Ears was on Yahoo, and that's a lot of years and posts ago.

Real name Chris, a music fan with an eclectic taste that goes way beyond prog, but this music has been with me since the 70'a was my first love, and sows no sign of diminishing. I can't imagine a day that I wake up and do not check in here, it's so food to have a haven on the web with like minded friendly folk. I haven't posted quite so much these past few years, life has been a bit hectic, and a lot has happened personally, but I am in a great place right now, and also loving the new direction for PE, it's a time for new beginnings, so here's to our brave new world!

[Big Ears]

I am me! If this is a dating thread, I am looking for a lady who likes ELP!

[philsunset]

Bob here. Love music (some of it prog), film, bbq, and beer. I live in Hell.

[Hobo Chang Ba]

No one will guess who I am.

[Sean]

With a Beefheart inspired locale you have already narrowed down the choices!

[Fox]

Fox of Fox&Monkey here. I'm going solo here since Monkey never posts that much and I wouldn't want anyone confusing my views with his as they can be very different. Cheers.

Karen

[philsunset]

Fox!!!

[tom unbound]

I am Tom and still unbound.
As a member of the 'geezer community', I grew up with all of this #@^&* .
Seen it, done it, been there, and picked up the occasional t-shirt along the way.
Amassed thru buying/trading/selling about 9 feet of (soon to be labeled 'prog') vinyl along the way. Vinyl bootlegs my fave.
Drifted away from music in the 80's and 90's. Real life was a big distraction. Damn it's reality.

Found PE. I was reborn with expanded horizions. PE, and all who post, saved my life. THANK YOU !!

Lived happily ever after.

[Yves]

I'm Yves...

I once went on a date with Betty White and got my wad of gum stuck on her right boob. I've got the photo to prove it.

[Hal...]

I'm "Hal..." You can call me Hal. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to divulge my real name.

I've been here so long I've seen the demise of my marriage, my brother, and two dogs. I also tend to stay in the shadows, now. And by that I mean I don't post to the public forums very much anymore. This new site, however, has had me posting publicly quite regularly.

My name is Robin and I try not to be too, um, over-enthusiastic about my two kids so I won't tell you about the gig my daughter Julie played with Adrian Belew this past weekend or the fact that my son just played two sold out shows in Washington, D.C. and was voted #3 up and coming drummer this year by Modern Drummer Magazine.

Holy shit! You're Julie & Eric's mom? Too f'n cool! If I were you, I'd have been kicked out, by now, for nonstop bragging! So, how long have you been on PE?

Krys here - reporting for duty.

Hi Krys. Nice avatar. So, why is it that Tigger is always the favorite character of women?

Incidentally, I still have my vinyl copy of Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree.

Been on this board since the days of Yahoo chat.

Hi Bill. How's Frank? Is he still alive?

I'm Michael, called progfellow on the old site for 12 years now. It was such a generic name, but in some ways it's sad to say goodbye to the old name (as boring as it was).

Hi Michael. I never thought your ID was boring; I always found it very apt. But it's a good thing your website is in your signature so I'll know who you are.

I'm a displaced Englishman from Newcastle living in Cincinnati.

Cincy, eh? So, have you become a Musketeers fan or a Bearcats fan? Answer carefully.

Hello everyone, I'm Sylvie from Québec City.

Hi Sylvie. Long time no see.

Hello, no user name change here, I've had it since Peog Ears was on Yahoo, and that's a lot of years and posts ago.

Hi Chris. Still running?

My three musical loves are Baroque music, prog, and rural French accordion... Gary

Cool. Baroque is one of mine as well (though I'm still learning). Huge Telemann and Handel fan.
Have yet to be disappointed by anything I've heard by Vivaldi (duh! ). Have also enjoyed what I've heard by Albinoni, Corelli, Lully, and Rameau (I'm steering clear of Bach for the time being. lol).
Big fan of some of the French impressionists, too. Can't say the same for prog and I don't know what you mean by "rural French accordion", but if it's anything like the following video, I love that kind of music.

[Reginod]

I am still Jack. I have also been around since the Yahoo daze. I still love music. I don't post a lot but I'm around pretty much every day.

I am not happy at all with the current state of affairs regarding the NHL.

The dude above known as Hal... but who doesn't divulge his real name (which I'm pretty sure I remember but won't say it here. I'm also pretty sure that we met and chatted for a brief bit at Floyd's cookout during NF '03 weekend) asked:

Hi Bill. How's Frank? Is he still alive?

which is a question I can answer.

Yes!

Don't think he's joined up here just yet though.

[Hal...]

I'm also pretty sure that we met and chatted for a brief bit at Floyd's cookout during NF '03 weekend

Yes we did. Hi Jack. At the old site, the picture of Alex, Lino, and you in the parking garage was taken by me:

2361.jpg

Yes! Don't think he's joined up here just yet though.

Good. Glad to know he hasn't expired.

Well, tell him, "HI FRANK!"

You have to yell it like that, too; he'll understand.

I'm Andy, as one or two of you know. I was born in Shreveport, Louisiana but raised and continue to live on the South Coast of England where I do various things including listening to a wide range of music and drinking Harveys ale.

Bengals & Reds

Having been long time Newcastle United fan (Howay tha Toon!!!) I am used to disappointing seasons.

[The Red Masque]

Hi. I'm Lynnette, from the band The Red Masque (from Pennsylvania, USA). I have been with PE since 2001, when I got invited to the site when I met some of you at NEAR Fest. I have not been as active here as of late, but I am digging the new site and plan to be more active here.... Hello to some old faces and to new ones.

[Hunnibee]

occasional loud roaring and lots of baritone sax.

For one split second, I thought you said "baritone sex", during which a very creepy, yet intriguing, vision of Barbershop Quartet porn went through my mind!

I'd much rather see a bear with a saxophone, thank you!

That's a cool hat. Very "Blighty" looking.

[Corbie]

That's a cool hat. Very "Blighty" looking.

Heh, thanks! Yeah, I'm a confirmed hat wearer, not to cover the fact that I'm not a hair wearer but just because.... I like 'em! I'll be donning the green bowler again tonight to attend an evening of weird folk organised by the Museum of British Folklore, a newish organisation that I have a small connection to. Cheers!

[Farpoint Kevin]

Kevin from Farpoint here...hence the ultra creative new screen name. I was "Severian" on the old PE.
