Re: On this day in MAY Bonahistory (& the starting of the BH Threads)

Thanks J Dawg for the 23rd '07 date - added to the list. (noted yours for tomorrow the 28th ('06) as well.)  The early ones are tough to find.

Re: On this day in MAY Bonahistory (& the starting of the BH Threads)

Thank you for the dates.

Into the log book they will go. (The May 7th won't show up for about a year. smile) Adding Forum members names as "first show" may be a cool add onto the list.

Last year today was the first time I saw Joe live!!! Didn't get to meet him, but Carmine, Rick and Tal came out to say hi to the fans and I met them all! Great night!

I'm broke, motherf**ker!

Re: On this day in MAY Bonahistory (& the starting of the BH Threads)

I'll admit...neat to see the compilation growing, and see people spark old memories.

But won't this eventually get out of hand, maintaining this sort of list in a single post?  Are there forum size limitations for characters in a single post? 

And so far, this only covers about 12 calendar dates, right?  (With nearly every day filled in with something.)  And lots of suggestions that have to be held onto, until that date rolls around.  Not that every day has significant "Bonahistory" that any or all of us might be aware of.

Perhaps this just becomes a log of "Memorable Moments in 'Bonahistory'" -- as opposed to the "On this day in..." daily entry sort of thing?

Tossing out ideas, and concerns, but carry on.

Play like you've worked at it, and don't worry about sounding like your influences.  You can't cheat on them, or your practice, anyway.  If you've worked hard at your skill, your audience will know it.
