Title: Over from the now closed MK.com Forum
Post by: Boog on August 20, 2012, 04:55:44 PM: Found out today the the forum over on MarkKnopfler.com has been cancelled. Kinda sad about that ... I've enjoyed that space for years and made some friends over there. Anyway, by way of introduction I thought I'd post one of my cyberjams with Mr. Knopfler.

Cheers,
Boog

I was just wondering have you ever had a jam with your banjo and Notting hillbillies' Railroad working song. I like that simple banjo pattern going there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKHoOrGEsmA

Post by: 3Strats on August 21, 2012, 08:31:32 AM: Hi Boog,

due to forum rules I've had to start using a nickname instead of my real name, but the avatar should give you a clue . ;D
Title: Re: Over from the now closed MK.com Forum
Post by: IrisRose on August 21, 2012, 08:49:05 AM: Welcome, Boog. I think that you could use your real name. Several of us do (not me). It's just a safe thing not to put one's whole real name out there. We are an easy to get along with and happy bunch here.

Hi Boog,

due to forum rules I've had to start using a nickname instead of my real name, but the avatar should give you a clue . ;D

You can choose the name yourself, also your own name is ok.
But the rules are just to protect people who use a nickname. I know a lot of peoples real names, but only use their nicknames. They choose to use another name in this forum so we all call him/her that name in here.

My name is Ingrid, nickname ingridswing, I wouldn't be happy if my full name would appear here all the time, however a lot of the members know it, as they know my e-mail, phonenumber, address. It's just not public, because everyone can read in this forum.
Title: Re: Over from the now closed MK.com Forum
Post by: 3Strats on August 21, 2012, 04:43:14 PM: Thanks Ingrid. I was misinterpreting the request to only use OTHER member's nicknames at the top of the page (pls refrain from using real names of members on here, pls use nicks at all times.) I understand the reasons for this, and as I was using my full name on MK.com I also thought it would be a good idea to change, for the reasons you give.

Cheers, ( what, no Beer emoticon? ;D)

Aidan.

Hi Silvertown, I have :) It was an interesting one to do. The banjo is in open D tuning, and I play using Keith/Scruggs D-tuners. Steve Phillips mic is turned down really low so my banjo is really the only one you can here. Good thing ... one banjo is bad enough!!! ;D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8Sow6ittto

BTW, "Boog" is my nickname :)
Title: Re: Over from the now closed MK.com Forum
Post by: Boog on August 21, 2012, 06:31:43 PM: Thanks for the really kind welcome folks. Here's a couple more cyberjams for you to enjoy. I've done these with various artists, but the ones with Mark are my favourites. I've never been all that interested in doing straight covers; I find I much prefer working out an arrangement and trying to mix it in to the original. BTW, I can't play the banjo anymore (arthritis), so it's strictly slide guitar now :)

Cheers,
Boog (not my real name LOL)

nope, you can use your Real Name in your Nick. But we only assume that if people do not use their real name in their/ as their nick, that they possibly do not want to share their real name straight away that problem does not occur if you use your name as/in your nick.
You can change your nick if you want to :lol

Post by: Fieneke2 on August 23, 2012, 10:27:50 PM: I would like to welcome all the new people who join us here at AMIT .......and Boog, I liked your cyberjam! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/3511504d6836511af49a93488fbc3c4a1c3.gif)

When I read some of the messages at the FB page MK fans, I felt very sorry for many of you!
In the past I have been posting at 2 forums as well who disappeared because of circumstances and the messages were gone!
I felt very sad about that! Well lucky many of those friends are still at FB, but that is not the same as having fun and
writing/responding messages at a forum!

After a while you will get to know people who are posting here and I am sure you will build friendships here as well. We are a great
group of people and you can find here a lot of information. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask, there is always somebody
willing to help! During the years I am visiting I met many nice people and some of them became close friends. It is wonderful to meet
them at concerts and having a great time together! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/drunk.gif)

Well I need to stop now........as you see I use many words and stupid emoticons (haha I love them)!

Btw my real name is Fieneke! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/Grinning.gif)

Uuuuhhhhh my mail adress starts with Fieneke2000, that was the year that we got connection with internet, .......
so I thought it was easier to use Fieneke2 at the forums!

In the beginning .......

That's right! I love when Fieneke starts fooling around, that's why she started to love MK when she heard: I'm the fool :D

It's nice to have a bit of lightheartedness to defuse the tension and no-one can do it quite like she can! :)
Title: Re: Over from the now closed MK.com Forum
Post by: 3Strats on August 26, 2012, 01:26:53 PM: Well, the MK.com mods said the forum is going to be available this weekend (until 27th) to allow us to save any info we wanted, however at 12:00 Noon (UK time) on 26th the site seems to be "unavailable or too busy", so perhaps they are starting the updates (or possibly the bandwidth is being taken up by members saving old posts).

edit:12:46 I spoke too soon, it seems to be back up, but access is a bit hit & miss (probably busy).

At least on MK.com I saw that the first dates of a 2013 European tour have been announced.
Now I'm hoping for a dutch date.......(Oh well, more dates should be announced over the following weeks.)

I Jennja and Superval and Boog and everyone ... although I have to say I am having a bit of a time navigating around ... not sure how everything works here, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
And alos, I want to have a pic of Jeanie for my avatar ... give me a little time and I'll get it up.
I guess this makes my email list a bit redundant, but it serves its' purpose for now ... I must convince vicpanic to join AMIT!!!
Great to see everyone here and other who are on the FB page and other forum - so many of us it's hard to keep track!
