Great to hear from you Gary. I'm less than half your age and there are many fans much younger than I - isn't it great to have music to unite such a huge gamut of fans?

Take care,

Nathan

Hi everyone. My name is Gary, and i live in Arizona. I'm 64 years old,and I was around although I was only 10 when rock and roll first began. I remember going to Hershey park and seeing Bill Haley and the Comets in 1956. Ever since then I have been listening to rock and blues, and jazz music. I must say I have a renewed faith in the future of music when i listened to Derekand the band play. I have been a fan of The Allman brothers Band for many years, and love Gov't Mule also. I cant get enough of Derek's slide Guitar......... yesssssss

Hi All,
I am new here and I wanted to say: "this is a cool site"!!!!!!!
And I posted a links earlier on a little tribute vid for Derek.
I am a guitarplayer myself and really have a lot of respect for Derek.
I love his play, his approach to play slide.

Maybe it works when I try to embed the vid here, let's try:

I hope you enjoy:

and go from there.

How do you add yourself to a show's attendee listing under the tour info section?

You're absolutely adorable. Who's the goofy guy giving you rabbit ears, though? Sticking out tongue

Some weirdo who won't stop talking about some band.

How do we see our friends? I just earned another one. I'd love to know who they are!

Hello

im still dieing to see who my friends are on here

hahaha

And how exactly do we do that?

...

Odd looking, though, with that blurry yellow face. Eye-wink

Yeah, he kinda looks like a blurry Lego.

I'm ashamed that you two would base a relationship purely on looks. Blockheads are people too, you know!!

How long 'til the Resurgence?

as far as im concerned everyone can friend up with me

im a friendly guy

ill be glad when i can see who that 1 friend is i have

Ooooo, pick me, pick me!

How long 'til the Resurgence?

You guys are now my friends. Smiling

COOL place to be - Love it - and I really love the music. See ya ALL at the Rochester NY show. Feb 13, 2009 - FRIDAY THE 13th - ohhhhhh. Be sure you check out https://www.coolhippie.com - PEACE to all and keep on Jammin'

I haven't posted any and I had some there in my profile the other day. They're not there anymore.

Am I just not seeing it?

How long 'til the Resurgence?

All I see is "More formatting options". Also is there a way to edit posts?

Good news, you can actually post pictures and embed other types of media in the forums. Here's a step-by-step guide:

- Take the link to Daniel doing his thing and insert it in an < img src > tag (for all the examples here, I inserted extra spaces so the tags will display properly - be sure to remove those spaces when you're actually posting, except for the space between img and src

- Here's how the link should look: < img src="http://a147.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/83/l_a4ff12002da930719cade8d2c1f31a1a.jpg"< /img >

- Be sure to put the link to your image in quotation marks

- Under input format, select "Full html" - this means you will also have to insert your own line breaks - do so by simply adding < br >< br > (w/out spaces) at the end of a paragraph.

- Here's how your pic will display in the img src tag:



- You can also embed videos from Youtube and anywhere that provides embed codes simply by copying that code into the Reply field here, selecting "Full html" and posting. So, here's Eric & Derek goin wild:



And here's a cool AC/DC widget, just because:

Add ACDC to your page


Hope this helps for now! I'll put together a better, permanent guide to posting images and other FAQs for you all very soon...

How about a link to a picture? Here's Daniel doin' his thing - http://a147.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/83/l_a4ff12002da930719cade8d2c1f31a1a.jpg.
Daniel rocks! Smiling

i wonder if phil lesh will ever joinup??

Well, thank you NotHammond, will respond in kind!

How long 'til the Resurgence?

someone added me as a friend also and i cant see who it is

I added you to my friends. Strange world, the internets, where you can have friends you've never met.

I'd like to repeat Leslie's question since I've been added to someone's friends never knowing I had any.

Passive/aggressive? Me? Why no, not at all.

How long 'til the Resurgence?

How can we see who's made us a buddy?

thanks marc and dtb

Can we not embed pictures into posts?

Yes

______Don't Miss Me______

Is there a way to set preferences or something to where replies to threads aren't listed as most recent first? This threw me off because I joined in the conversation late.

If you're already receiving the newsletter, you shouldn't have to subscribe again. If you go to the subscriptions tab under edit profile, you can check to see if you're signed up for the newsletter.

As for the threads, I've given some thought to how they should display... I'd prefer them to put most recent responses at the bottom too. Will talk to the developers to see about getting that changed. I'm also going to try to get rid of the mandatory subject line for posts - seems unnecessary, doesn't it?

Thanks for the feedback... Please, keep it coming!

Do we need to sign up for the newsletter again like we're signing up for the forum again?
