Buddha may not have wanted to give you a flowery speech, but I will as it's deserved.
Congratulations to TheBuddha and Crazy for their relentless effort in providing a venue for fellow musicians every Friday night for 4 years. Even during the Great Voat Outage and the closing of the same didn't stop them from finding a way to provide a place for musicians and listeners to share the joy of home-made music. It takes a lot more effort than most may realize to pull this off every week and in spite of near-death accidents, crazy people in their lives, and just the struggle of living a full life they have always found a way to make sure there was a place for others to share their joy of music.
The near perfect replications by the Buddha, Biff, and J, and their band at times, and Crazy's endless stream of real life put into songs, sometimes humorous, sometimes just blazing Rock with friends makes each Friday night something to look forward to in this crazy world of ours. It is indeed a blessing to have heard so many artists contribute over the years. We've lost quite a few during that time but someone new always shows up with yet another great tune and talents. Indeed, it has been more than just the music, friendships have been made that are quite valuable and touching.
So I just wanted to say Thank You to them all for the time, effort, and passion that is required to keep this going reliably for so long. Music is best, and meant to be, shared. I truly appreciate all the hours of enjoyment every one has brought, much needed at times just to make it through the week. A life without music and friends would indeed miss one of it's great joys!
I'm with Buddha man in thanking you for everything that you have done for us. You're archive is so much more organized than anything I have, if I want to play a song I've done in the past and shared with you all the easiest way to find it is the fngt.gq site. That's so awesome. I appreciate everything you've done!
VERY well said COF .. many blessings to all here FNTG. I'm finally back out playing again, and I've got some new songs in the pipe so I'll be able to participate again. Thanks for all the kind words that I've received here, they are most appreciated. Special thanks to The Buddha, Crazy and COF you are very much appreciated
So nice to hear from you again. Glad you're out performing, you have a gift that needs to be shared. Will be looking forward to hearing your new tracks. Take care.
Hell, them's some purdy words but you put in more time than some of us do at times. A hearty thanks goes to you for your many, many contributions.
And, you're right... I don't think people know how much effort and time this takes. By now, I've invested thousands of hours just for the thread. That's ignoring the myriad hours of practice and learning.
