Good luck with your playing.
Sorry you didn't see the Straits. I saw them several times including 1 BIA concert. It was fantastic. But these guys now are fantastic, too.

I never saw DS concerts, neither Hillbillies and ..........uuuuhhh to be honest I am only a fan since the last 2 1/2 years! :o .........Yeah I can hear you think, where has that woman been all those years!!!!! That is something I wonder myself too! ;D

Well I was so lucky to meet all these wonderful fans who taught me a LOT about Mark and his music and I was able to attend the KTGC concert of Mark last year. I hope there still will be many in future! :P

shame i don't live a bit closer bbb or we could get together for a jam
Title: Re: hello everyone
Post by: Best Brown Baggies on March 29, 2009, 07:36:03 PM: Where are you from mkstylee.?

BTW. The only jam i would be able to do with you (as sadly i don't play the guitar) is to share a jam sandwich. ;D ;D ;D

I do have a guitar, but i am more than happy to just listen to my favourite guitarists.
Perhaps one day. ;)
