Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 02 2010, 15:13 Mike does something even more crazier than Romance, he invites you to his birthday!!! Can you believe it? What is your gift, and if you write a card, what do you write? I think I'd bring this CD: http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=173649 Mozart Concerto 24 played by Evgeny Kissin Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 02 2010, 19:39 A guitar, of course. And of course I'd bring one for myself, to have a play with him. I'm no good at writing birthday cards, so I'd probably just give him a big inflatable Fender Strat guitar [together with the real guitar, of course!] with "Happy Birthday Mike" scrawled in brightly-coloured crayons all over it. A CD? Nah, Mike doesn't listen to music very often. But if I really had to buy him one, it would be this one. By the way, Mike did do something crazier than "Romance". He re-recorded Tubular Bells. And then he remixed it. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Drealm Group: Members Posts: 170 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: May 05 2010, 19:36 I think I would bring him some great pictures from my region (we have a great natural fjord that's worth a boat trip) and give him an address of a good hotel near my place and offer to be his guide for him and his family around my region, if he ever want to visit a beautiful natural place in Quebec: Saguenay! I think it's the best way I could know Mike and his family, by showing them the great nature where I live. If he never comes, at least he can enjoy the pictures. Back to top

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1981 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: May 17 2010, 13:49 Hi Syd and thanks for asking. I've diminished my anger over Eddy somewhat. I keep him on weekends although me and Sylvia(his 1st owner) and the two doggies spend much of that time together, he comes to my place on weekends, the one I told him so many times has "The grass and trees", his eyes opened wide every time I said that. Thats what got to me, the "Grass and trees". And he is not here. I live alone, again. But I'm OK. I've lost interest in music unless it's already recorded(IE...I have not restringed my gits or played). I kinda hunker down and reflect. I think I might get a X-box and do games. But I should join a spa and work out. Anyway, no more angry posts. I guess things worked out for the best. Eddy has companionship all the time now. Thanks for asking.

ex member 892 Group: Members Posts: 827 Joined: July 2008 Posted: May 17 2010, 20:27 I used to be a gamer. Haven't played for a while though. I never did X-box, I was a computer gamer. Anyway, things could be worse. At least you get to see Eddy on weekends. And you never know what may happen. Everything will work out, I'm sure. Also, music has a way of creeping back into your life even if you don't think you want it too. So keep those guitars around, man. Back to top
