    Moderator,

    quitar or something??  Let's get this place fired up!!!!!

395.1Lack of activity in this file....HOTLNE::SHIELDSWed Feb 05 1997 00:059
    RE: 395.0
    I agree. Let's get this thing going again! I am proud to say that I'm
    still a drummer ( retired) but a drummer nevertheless. I know there are
    still other drummers out there. So.....how about if we here from so of
    you?

       Hello out there. About time some people showed up, what did happen
    to all of the skin slappers? I have been playing for a very short time,
    I actually used alot from this conference, when I was purchasing my
    equipment.  I have never had a rush like this(playing that is), and as
    far as I'm concerned, this is one of the best things I have ever
    done(playing that is).  I am 90% self taught, and practicing as much as
    I possible can.  I have made up(with a couple of friends) about 13
    tapes(just jamming). My band and I have come along way in such a short
    time. My goals are to be part of a band, playing
    jazzy/alternative/heavy, we currently have a bass player, me, 2
    guitarist, and a turntable(wicky, wicky..). Unfortunatley I think we
    will be separating due to other job opportunities, but it's not over
    until the drummer's done.
395.3Love those drums!HOTLNE::SHIELDSSat Feb 08 1997 01:2412
   RE: .2
     Playing the drums is a great rush! Especially when you do it in front
    of an audience. Like you I'm 90% self taught and I don't regret for one
    minute taking up the skins.
    
    BTW, the drums weren't my parents first choice. First came the french
    horn(Yuck!) and then several years of piano lessons ( a little better
    but not my cup of tea:)! 30 years later the drums are still one of the best
    decisions I ever made.

395.4Nothing better!FABSIX::M_CADIEUXKADOUThu Feb 13 1997 02:297
    
       Yup me too.  Thirty-years huh? Damn I can't wait to see what I'm
    like in thirty years. I also would like to take piano lessons, I also 
    play the guitar(acoustic"big red").  The only thing better than playing
    the drums is playing the drums in a sound proof room.

    Hey, this ain't no newspaper.  You want more content in here, you gotta
    stop asking for it, and start WRITING it. 
    
    That's how notesfiles work.  If there ain't enough happenin' in here,
    it's because YOU ain't writing anything.

395.6Seen our stock lately?ICS::CLELANDFri Mar 07 1997 04:1317
    Don't forget the state of the company, and people devoting available
    resources to doing their job.
    
    Pursuing careers, signing up for training, trying to make the next
    job code level, you know the routine...
    
    Secondly, there's newsgroups and the web. Why devote hours to
    creating text that will only be visible inside Digital's firewall?
    
    Twenty years ago it was fine, but with the web giving people access
    to the world, this internal medium has become very limiting.
    
    AND, Digital's notes product is proprietary, text based, and platform
    specific. Can't add a .gif .jpg or .bmp (or any other file format) to
    a reply, only ascii text.
    
    If this were Lotus Notes (watch the people cringe) ...
