The Pass Pub: The High-End Off Topic Thread

Hello Chaps!!! Someone mentioned to me that my company was being requested to find out how I have been doing.
We must remember to thank that fellow. He sounds like a caring person.
Attached is a little photo of one of my little adventures in staying alive.
Albert, you'll always be a fine looking lad. Hat or no hat, standing or on your back, I say you still knock 'em dead.

Uh... let me rephrase that.

Great to have you come for a visit and of course best wishes going forward.
Don't be afraid to come here a little more. You don't want that guy bothering you all the time do you?
 
Cheers back at you ZM, and to Albert too.

I'll be honest though. I emailed him a couple weeks back and he is usually pretty good about coming to see us, so when each day passed and there was no response, well...

Hey, you can't blame me. We know he's had his issues so I was going to email one more time with a note to whomever might be looking after his mail, that no matter what, to please update us. After all, his diyAudio friends miss him.

When I saw his post this morning, my day suddenly got better.

Cheers to Albert and his health and cheers to all those who care enough to ask.
Best wishes also go to the others here also struggling with things. We are glad you have the time and wherewithal to be here when there might be more important things.

:cheers:

Thank all of you for caring and for your good wishes as they have made my day brighter. I have been in mourning for the last three months over the passing of my younger brother Patrick. He went into the hospital for a bypass operation and didn't make it. He would have turned 70 y/o this coming Sept. 16 and I miss him very much. It is shocking to talk with someone in the morning and discover that they are gone before supper.

OK you bunch of DoDo's - you can come out from hiding now!!! I promise that I will not tell any more sad or bad stories (at least for a little while).

Has anyone here listened to Oliver Anthony on Utube? Some of his music complains about politicians so might be off-topic for DiyAudio....

Interesting story - he posted a video on YouTube and it went viral with 61 million views. Thus a guy with barely two coins to rub together in his pocket now has the number one download on Itunes.

"far from arguing with anything you intended with that post"

No arguing with me or you because we are both equal dummies of board of life game.... :)

It's just that I live near Nashville Tennessee, which many people regard as the home of Country and Western music, and this town is full of people trying to produce a hit record that will go to #1 on iTunes. They have bands and writers and composers and stage crews and public relations people all geared towards making a hit record and here comes this guy that doesn't have any of those things that with just a guitar and microphone stands up and belts out a hit and he doesn't even have an agent to sign over a check to... Amazing!!!

So for me this is a good news story of going from rags to riches. I don't know if being rich will help him out any (being rich has it's own set of problems from what I have seen) but then time will tell.

modern communications, greater chance for quality to arise

though, same (modern communications) also confirming population's enormous capacity to dig mediocrity ...... just look at any list of Top 10 - 20 - 50 yadayada

nothing changed, we are just now being informed faster and we are inventing better ways to oppress and kill

btw. Nashville - due to ^ I did found Justin Johnson - he's remarkable
