I would jsut like to say thanks in finally letting me in on the justs of everything. The real reason for this thread is to introduce myself and my band. I am Peadie, 19, from IN. I really dig folk music, such as Simon and Garfunkel, JAckson C. Frank, CSNY, and modern folkies like Shawn Mullins and Steve Poltz. Now about my Band. Peadie and a Headless Parakeet was started in 1995, when my firend and I were bored, and we were trying to figure out a way to meet girls, so we decided to start a band. So for the next few days we were trying to think of a name( if you want that story go to the other thread.)We finally got a name. Neither of us could play any instrument yet, so my bandmate chose guitar, and I tried bass and harmonica, now I play guitar. He progressed at his skills, while mine diminished. We began singing and playing together, until about our JR year of high school, he started a Rock band, and I concentrated on my poetry, kind of. He went out of town to a real college after school, and I stayed in town to go to community college, I played with a group of friends over the summer, then ran into him at the mall, it was kind of like old times. After about a 2 months, my band broke up, and I was just itching to play some music with some one. I saw a thing on tv about how music nowadays is horrible, and I finally decided to ask my friend if he wanted to play. Only this time take it serious and actually make something of it. I started the site I amde, just for friends, and for others that are interested. I know it isn't much, and may look like shameless self promotion, but how els can we get the name out there. I want people to know what I am talking about when I say the name, not just laugh and say it is dumb. Well that is the brief story of my band, look for a more detailed version on the site, in the future. I wantto thank all of teh support that I recieved last night from all the people, I hope it continues. I also would like to thank all of you who finally let me in on the whole situation, and letting me know that none of it was 100% serious. Peadie

Crossed wires somewhere here I think. Not to worry, if the musics ok, that's what counts. And this is a very friendly place indeed, whatever it sounds like. |
