You be newbie? You be welcome! 

Heya, Rickrocks, glad to meet you. I somehow missed you when you first signed up. I see you've got your first 10 posts, yay!

It's awesome you're a musician. I play a bit of keyboard and guitar (slowly teaching myself both), but I play VERY poorly. I daresay my 4 year old could play as well as I do. 

Have you ever played somewhere public that was really exciting for you? Like for a larger concert or an event?

Rickrocks, I love your new avatar.  It just reminds me of this:

It's a pic of meself priming up for a Bills-Jets game at Ralph Wilson Stadium, about 10 years ago.

My buddy came up with it about a year ago, and I thought it captures my usual mood.

Glad you like it. Do you do horses in a big way? Equestrian, bareback or what? Bustin' broncs?

I've tried just about everything. English, western, bareback, driving, big horses, small horses. I have showed quarter horses for a long time, and miniatures for about four years. I am actually selling my jumper to focus on just the minis.

So you're from Buffalo!! That's awesome! I live about 100 miles away, but that doesn't keep me from being a Bill's fan! Welcome neighbor !!!

Welcome to the forum.

Rickrocks, that penetrating stare makes me giggle whenever I see it.

Sorry if that isn't quite the effect you intended!

I see I'm a day late and a dollar short as usual, but welcome!

Amicale, I don't give a flying rat's ass what you think of me, on a personal level. I figure that gives us the best chance to be friends. Further, I was tailgating at the time (an activity that Buffalonians do with great expertise), so yeah, there's a lot of humor and playfulness behind this snapshot. If it makes you smile, all the better.

I hope my comment wasn't misinterpreted as a jab, or anything. It was my way of saying I liked the picture, not at all that I was laughing at *you*. I saw the humor and playfulness behind the photo, and I liked it! I certainly hope we can be friends here, too!

Absolutely no offense taken, Amicale. That's just me on my word processor. I tend to come across as more gruff than in person. I think it's good that I don't give a flying rat's ass, and I hope you do too, or don't either or something! (uproarious laughter) My sense of humor is often tongue-in-cheek. Please be prepared to not take me totally seriously all the time, for Chrissakes!

Matter of fact, I think the Bills lost that day, thus increasing the irony of my silly Bills fan face!
