A Toast to Great Music Threads

From: wysiwyg

I have no qualifications whatever to do the task I have set myself, but as no one else is doing, it, I have beat the competition hands-down at least so far.

Based purely on my own sense of what I like (the nerve!), I will periodically (whenever I feel like it) toast a newly-started music thread.

And hey! If you want to raise a glass (and a blue clicky thingy), go ahead!

HERE'S GOOD LUCK TO:

What a grand idea!

Gypsy, I hope you will pick one to toast. If you are not sure how to make a clicky, it's covered via the FAQ thread. Or you can post your toast by title I will clicky it up for you?

I hope she's AWOL. It would be tragic if a human were AOL.

Sorry, I've never been in the military but I've been on the internet where AOL means something different.

Would it have been more acceptable if I said she were away on Earthlink?

Refresh, even. I'd post a link but my browser's got squirrels in it.

Help me out folks. I think bringing a few more music threads to the fore wouldn't hurt right about now. Please list here (and refresh) any current or or music threads that really floated your boat. I gotta sign off for now-- till Thursday my access online is BAD.

But I'll be singing!

It looks to me like there are plenty of music threads. I like the way you did this though..just giving a clicky to the thread instead of bringing them totally up. I personally hate to click on a thread and find it is 3 years old. But a clicky referencing it is good. That way all people should be happy...those that hate the thought that something could be repeated and those that like brand new ones with the old one readily available. Plus it quickly brings them up to over 100 messages if there are a bunch to start with. mg

Thanks all, especially Don (hi Bill). "Normal" online access! Like returning to normal gravity tho one has never known it before.

Here's one I cannot BELIEVE is not getting hot action! Maybe it's the title.

Not enough music threads these days, i reckon that music has taken a back seat.
