Thanks for the new forum!!

:) Thanks for this new forum. We are all gonna have alot fun!

[srussell]

Kode, why don't you kick this section off with some topic that is totally non-scrapbook related and see what kind of mess we can make around here? :D

[kode]

Gee where is granny when I need her??!! I'm sure she would do a much better job of kicking us off on a topic. Or Steve you would do a great job. By the way Steve when I asked about music awhile back you didn't tell me about the music you have!!! Thanks alot, I see how you are!:D . Your music is great thanks for sharing (even though you waited so long:D )

Yes... where is Granny when we need her? we usually can't get a word in edgewise... LMOA

Oops, it looks like I dropped the ball on the music thingy... Kode, here's the link if you didn't get earlier... http://www.iireproductions.com/phacets/phacets.htm

Corey is definitely no slouch... He's got some serious chops as well... like to hear more of his stuff...

[kode]

Oh does Corey sing too? I would love to hear that too. He already suprised me by saying he has long dark hair.
Moonbeam looks like what I pictured her to look like but not Steve or
Corey(by his descirption). It's funny how you have a picture in you mind of what people look like and then it isn't anything like it. Kinda like with radio DJ's when they don't end up looking like what you pictured. Not that looks matter but it is still fun knowing.
Steve your music is awesome you have alot of talent!
Alot of people here are showing their talents in different areas It is great! I sure wished I had some of that talent all of you guys have!!!

[Corey]

The funnest part was when I taught a web design class at a University here. People were like, "Whaaa?" when I came rolling into the faculty area with my skateboard and long hair. :D

My singing used to be semi-respectable, sang in a couple small bands, etc. But nowadays lack of practice has caught up with me. Singing is something you have to practice regularly in order to maintain good tone, or at least for me anyhow. I think right now my voice is sort of a smooth blend between the call of a howler monkey and Luciano Pavorotti getting caught in a garage door. :D

True story -> My first gig ever was at a tiny club in Edmonton called "The Ritz Diner". For some reason I wore a tie. I never wear ties so I'm not at all sure why I did that. This was in the days of zip-up leather ties. The tie I had was super tight, and it had no leeway whatsoever. The net result being that my face looked like a swollen plum all night from getting half-choked by the tie, and I nearly fainted during all the high notes. In fact I was pretty sure I had fainted a couple times and was surprised to discover that I hadn't. Hee. I've never worn a tie to a gig since. :D

[Granny]

HeeeHaaaaa!!! We got it! Alright you powers that be... Thank you so much for listening to your fans!!!

Ok. group, what kind of madness should be try for our grand opening? Funny, I just got home from going to the movies, we saw "Over the Hedge" and it was so funny, I'm all worn out! Can't think of anything crazy right now. But, give it time.

Tell you what, I will give someone else the privilege, I'm just happy to have the new section here.

Granny :D

[Corey]

Excellent. Looks like a lot of people wanted the new forum Granny, t'was a bonny wee idea. :D

[Marion]

Loved your true story Corey, was fun picturing that in my mind!

About all the art you guys, I am not much of an artist, but I know how to appreciate it, does that count?

Marion

[Corey]

Definitely counts. :)

[Marion]

Liked your music Steve! Very nice! I use a lot of music from a artist called GNOMUSY in my slide shows for background music. Have you ever heard of him? He is great

So Corey when do we get to hear your music!!!???

[Corey]

I don't do much that would fly here but here's one from a year or two ago:
http://media.putfile.com/a_grace_mix

These days I'm mainly brushing up on production and engineering. Haven't played as much as I should for a little while now. So much to learn, only 24 hours in each day. :)

[kode]

Wow your music is great Corey!!! You are a very multi-talented person as well as alot of other people here!
I do know what you men about only 24 hours in a day!! You would think that would be plenty but it just isn't quite enough time in a day.
Thanks for sharing your music I appreciate it!

[Granny]

Wow, Corey, you may not sing the blues, but you play them! Awesome! You and Steve should get together and take the show on the road. Moonbeam and I will do the warm up comedy part!

Granny :D

[srussell]

Wow, Corey, you may not sing the blues, but you play them! Awesome! You and Steve should get together and take the show on the road. Moonbeam and I will do the warm up comedy part!

Granny :D

I think I'd actually pay money to see that opening act! :D

[Corey]

Moonbeam and I will do the warm up comedy part!


Hee. Count me in. :D

[Granny]

Guys, you don't know what you're asking for! We'll let you know. :D

Granny

[Marion]

Thanks... Never heard of GNOMUSY... Do you have a link?

Well yes, I do!

http://www.gnomusy.com/

There is a place on his website that lets you download a few songs for free.

For kids shows or family shows, I love the tune named Alexandra. It is a free download.

The kids love it too.

Marion

[Moonbeam]

Funny story about your gig Corey,
With all these pho's being displayed Is yours there somewhere? I haven't seen you yet..and I wanna meet ya mate!

[Kazr]

Count me in on that as well Moonbeam, Corey after hearing your voice I also want to put a face to you, you are certainly a mystery,come on,please put us out of our misery & send us a pic :)

[Corey]

I'm not really a picture person but I don't want anyone to think I'm aloof or unfriendly, so...

Last week he brought a live mouse into my office to show me what a good guy he is. Blech! :eek:

[Kazr]

Thank you so much for your Pic Corey, you Rock!
I understand the "I'm not really a picture person " thing myself as I am the most unphotogenic person in the world, so really do appreciate you posting that pic,believe me there are 1000,s harder on the eyes than you.:)
Also we all know you are far from aloof or unfriendly, quite the opposite actually....as I have mentioned before it just helps us put a face to that lovely voice of yours :)
Your cat Boo Boo is a sweetie & I think most of us have had a mouse(or cockroaches) or two bought to us as presents to show what great mousers they are, gotta love em :D

[Corey]

Yep I love him even though he's a little turkey. :D

[Moonbeam]

Wow! Just a little pic!
You are so cute..what lovely brown puppy dog eyes you have...
Where is your long hair? tucked under your hat?
You do not look your age man... You look like a teenager - lucky you!
Seriously -it is nice of you to post it Corey - now we can picture you when we talk to you...

[srussell]

Yes, nice to have a face to go with the name... Rock on! :D

[Corey]

Yep the hair was in a ponytail. I'm sneaky! :)

[Sandy]

That's a nice picture, Corey! Thanks for sharing...

[Tammy]

....What a Cutey! (;) I say, in a Motherly kind of way...)

Corey, you little "Stinker".........you've been hiding behind that :cool: Avatar all this time! Thanks, for giving us a peek...(Ya just never know!!!)

~Tammy

[kode]

Wow Corey finally!! Everyone looks similar to what I pictured except for you Corey but maybe thats because I had a voice to you as well and not just going by the personality like I have the others. You look great. But hey where is your skateboard!? You have your cat and guitar and we all know there is one more thing in you life!:D

[Adam]

Since we are doing pics and all. Here is me when I used to have long hair. Now I am all respectable looking :rolleyes:

Adam.

[kode]

You crack me up Adam! So where is your respectable picture!?:D
It is great to see your face as well!

[Jessica]

yes, nice to see pictures of everyone... everything about forums and internet is so anonymous and I find it annoying ! I like to SEE people. It's not to judge people on their looks, it's only just curiosity ;)

[Granny]

Wow, ain't they both cute? Handsome dudes!!! If I was 30 years younger..... I would still marry my honey bunny, but you guys really are cute!

But you know what I find to be the nicest thing of all.... That such young people like yourselves are so nice and wholesome! It's so refreshing to come to a forum where we can joke around, help each other, share pictures and talent, and not have to be afraid to open the page because of what could be lurking behing them. I had to quit several forums because of that.

So please, stay the way you are, we love you for it. And that applies to every one else here too. Even Steve. You are all wonderful.

I really like all of you nuts!! :eek:

Granny :D

[srussell]

You crack me up Adam! So where is your respectable picture!?:D

See the scrapbook page that started the 1000 members thread... I have low friends in high places... :D

[srussell]

And that applies to every one else here too. Even Steve. Granny :D

Thanks, Granny... appreciate that... Would you have me any other way?

[Granny]

Oh, Steve, you're so priceless!!!!!

Granny :D :rolleyes:

[srussell]

yes, nice to see pictures of everyone... everything about forums and internet is so anonymous and I find it annoying ! I like to SEE people. It's not to judge people on their looks, it's only just curiosity ;)

Yes... Hillary .... Didn't I see you in the movies "The Core" and "Million Dollar Baby"

[Jessica]

yes, my true identity has been discovered. steve, you blew my cover... ;)

[Adam]

So where is your respectable picture!?


Check my Profile (http://www.scrapbookmax.com/forums/member.php?u=12) for a respectable pic.

Adam.

[Ladybug]

Wow, what a bunch of great looking men we have here. And so talented too! The musical talent here is awesome. First Steve and now Corey. Any place to find more of your work Corey? I think I could get some work done if I had more of your music to listen to while working on my graphics.

Ladybug

[kode]

Man you look totally different! I have seen both the pictures that Steve and Adam told us to see but had no clue that was the same Adam! The long hair Adam looks my nephew. The new Adam doesn't. You look great both ways. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

[srussell]

Check my Profile (http://www.scrapbookmax.com/forums/member.php?u=12) for a respectable pic.

Adam.

He's gone over to the dark side... He's a "suit" now...:D

[Adam]

The hair had to go. I think I did the last chop on my 26th B-day and havn't looked back.. Although it did keep me warm in our oh so cold Winnipeg winters

Adam.

[kode]

Gee don't I know it(the cold winters)! I'm not too far off from Winnipeg. Actually alot of people go visit there quite often and have a blast.

[Corey]

Adam is da man!!! Truly. As for my music, I do have other stuff but nothing anyone here would consider music. Here's my most recent piece for example, be seriously pre-warned though:

http://www.archive.org/stream/Music_Calgary_PD_1B/Music_Calgary_PD_1B_vbr.m3u

That's pretty much my main genre. So you can see why it'd be pointless posting my music for 99.9999999% of folks here. What can I say, I'm a child of the 70s/80s. :D

[Granny]

You're right Corey!!!!! But, ah.... We forgive you. Just don't make a career out of it, ok? :eek:

Granny :D

ps: love the other stuff, though! ;)

[Corey]

Just don't make a career out of it, ok?

I'm not making any promises. :)

Adam, I think you look quite respectable with or without the locks. (...How did all these Good Looking Young Guys end up in a Scrapbooking Forum?) Aren't we lucky!!

Corey, I thought it was great! Would work well as background for some of my son's Navy pics.
I haven't figured out how to do the music part yet. I've tried a few times, but give up frustrated.

[Moonbeam]

Corey, I loved it.. you are very talented..I listened to it a few times...excellent..
funny thing though.. my dog came running in when I put it on and looked puzzled - cocked her head ,pricked up her ears and whined like a puppy??? I think SHE likes it too!

[Corey]

Hee har. :D

[Granny]

Clarification....

I did not say it was bad... It's just not the type of music I enjoy! A little heavy on the metal? :D

But, technically speaking, it's actually very good.

Is that better? :rolleyes:

Granny :p :D

[Corey]

No worries Granny, I know exactly what you mean... :)

I grew up during the era of electric guitar excess. Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, etc. these are the heroes of my youth in the same way someone a generation up from me might have related to Elvis or Chuck Berry. So naturally it ended up being the style I pursued. All musicians focus on the style that was cool during their teens at some point... :)

[kode]

Gee whiz Corey just tell us how old you are!!

[Corey]

Hee har. :D

[kode]

Oh I forgot to tell you in my last post that I love your music Corey! Maybe because I grew up in the 70's/80's too. Anyway you did a great job!

[Moonbeam]

Me thinks he's about 35!!!:confused:

[Corey]

Yep, in that ball park. But I feel much younger. I'm into healthy living, etc. :)

[Moonbeam]

Good on ya! Corey... so am I.... Thats how I lost 55lbs.. changed my eating habits.. I eat so healthy now and i am feeling the benefits big time!

[Granny]

<whisper> Shame it did not do any thing for her brain..... <whisper> :rolleyes:

Wonderful Moonbeam, keep up the good work. You too Corey.

Granny:cool:

[Moonbeam]

<whisper> Shame it did not do any thing for her brain..... <whisper> :rolleyes:
Granny:cool:
Oh It did I think I lost weight there too...
My waist is 10" smaller and so is my brain - thats my excuse!:confused:
so what's yours?

[Granny]

That Frontal Lobatomy I keep telling you about? Did wonders for me. I can now enjoy association with the likes of all you wonderful fruit cakes!

Must be an inherent problem with brilliant people, they are all cookoo!!!

Granny :D
