Obscura was a well known and respected member, this discussion should answer any questions.
Hopefully one days when her personal situation improves she will consider returning.
Steffi was a stalwart of this group and her departure was due to inappropriate messages from a small group of vested interests. Those interests went to the lengths of finding out actual personal details and then embarked on a fear campaign against her, those weak scumbags know who they are and should be totally ashamed. Vested interests operate outside all boundaries of morals, ethics and integrity.
Steffi`s departure will continue to be felt for some time to come and the means used to drive her away can only be described as despicable.
Yep all of the Everly's music brings back happy memories of my youth .First picked up a guitar in the earl 60s and started on theirs and Holly's stuff.
Buddy Holly was a genius, and that is compounded by the fact that his records are still played on radio on an almost daily basis nowadays well over half a century since his tragic death. I have a vinyl box set I bought in 1979 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of that dreadful plane crash which has EVERYTHING he ever did, including demos of the tracks he put down which were overdubbed after his death. It is one of my most treasured possessions. My favourite of all his GREAT recordings has to be "Peggy Sue", that steady driving rhythm, Buddy's stylish "hiccup" vocalising plus the hypnotic beat make this one of the very best records of the rock 'n' roll era but they are all good, e.g. "Every Day", "It Doesn't Matter Anymore", "Oh Boy" and the very beautiful "True Love Ways", that one always makes me want to cry --------------------------------------- added after 5 minutes
p.s. I play piano too and I do a mean Buddy Holly medley, along with medleys of songs by Connie Francis, Doris Day, Judy Garland, Glenn Miller, The Beatles etc. I can't imagine a world without music and I love ALL types, a nice bit of Mozart or Grieg doesn't go amiss neither
Indeed. And let's spare some thoughts for Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper as well as the pilot Roger Peterson who died alongside Buddy on that fateful night all those years ago
Again? This is truly sad. I'll miss her too...and her awesome pep talks she always gave me. Even when she may not have felt well enough to do it, she always made time for me.
I was going to type a goodbye message to put on the forum, and also send private messages to my dearest friends, giving them my email address. There are many positive reasons for my impending departure, but I need to leave more quickly. You can ask Arexa about it; she will tell you. If you are good people, she will tell you.
I saw the two reprehensible and fake accounts created today by a gutless fool to mock Steffi, one mocks her directly while the other one shows a composite caricature of her next to Stephen Hawking. Made even more repugnant by the fact the weak fool poses as an elderly couple.
To that weak scumbag I would point out that Stephen Hawking would have more intellect in the tip of one hair than you would have in your entire body and Steffi has more character and integrity than you, in fact by your actions you show the entire membership your total lack of those or any worthwhile attributes.
Shame on you.
Let us see what the review panel thinks. --------------------------------------- added after 22 minutes
And just an update, both of the fake accounts have gone, certainly no great loss as we would agree.
oh Steffi, oh my friend, I am sorry to hear this. I hope I can find your email in my stuff, not too organized...you are such a good woman Steffi. I am really saddened to find you gone.
Hopefully one days when her personal situation improves she will consider returning.
