Hi all..

I've had a busy few weeks, and only yesterday morning read through my first
audities email for a while. It's like I slept through a holocaust...

I'll try not to ramble. I've known Audities longer than my wife. Through it
I have made lifelong friends, made albums, and found a career. Yes, I would
never have become a 'powerpop artist' without Audities. This mailing list
changed the course of my life. And I really mean it.

Michael has been the ultimate moderator. Liberal and active, yet firm when
necessary. And a wonderful man. Some of the greatest memories involve the
time of my life when I played the first IPO, met and hung out with Michael &
Kristy, met Bruce Brodeen and saw Anna Borg, and proposed to my wife.. All
in a 6 week period.

I've learned much, found a small group of people interested in some things I
do, and though wanting to leave many times, never have. Because it's been
wonderful seeing the Alist in my inbox.

So thank you Michael. I join the chorus who are throwing goodwill your way.

Surprisingly, I'd MUCH prefer a forum type thing. I think I'm the only one
voicing my opinion that way so far! I'm finding email more and more
unmanageable these days, whereas things like the Tape Op message board are
fantastic. We all know how forums work, and a well run one seems ideal to
me. Having said that, I'll take whatever I can get, so count me in.

I'm sure I'll have something new to flog soon..

And Pop Underground sounds great to me..
