** December 3, 2001** Greetings to all! In a non-trading bit of news, I am very proud to announce that my exclusive interview with Roxy Music drummer Paul Thompson is now online! After about 3 weeks of e-mailing between us, I have compiled the interview and I am most pleased with it's results! Please be sure to check it out at the links found around the pages. Thank you!!
**November 30, 2001** What an incredibly sad day this is for not only Me but all music fans in the entire world as we tragically lost George Harrison yesterday. I can proudly say that George was my favorite Beatle. He just had such an aura about him (as did all of the individual Beatle members) that translated in such a huge way in his music. While he will be largely remembered for "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun", I remember him more for "Blue Jay Way" and "Within You, Without You" and other largely overlooked songs such as this in that very important Beatles "transitional" phase from '65-'67. I am profoundly saddened by the loss of George. Like most of us, I grew up with the Beatles and they have been a big part of my life musically. However, in my sadness, I know that George was at total peace with his own passing, and that makes it more comforting to Me.
**November 28, 2001** Hi to everybody! Just wanted to let everybody know that I have gotten loads of new stuff in for several different bands with much more on the way so please be sure to check all pages! Also, be sure to check the new Roxy Music boots page and remember that my exclusive interview with Paul Thompson is on the way very soon! In the meantime, I do have two new pieces of information that I need to make everybody aware of (I don't want to be fecicious enough to call them "rules"):
*1. Due to the high volume of boots I get now, I currently do not have the time to go through and listen all the way to every boot although I try to do the best I can so I can catch and notate any glitches they may or may not have. I will do the best I can, but please bear with Me.
*2. I will now do all posting of boots on Saturdays only due to my work schedule, as it is the only day I can make it to the post office. I apologize sincerely, but again, it is the best I can do. Thank you all very much and hope to talk to you all soon!
**November 24, 2001** Wow, hard to believe that Freddie Mercury has been dead 10 years as of today, huh? As well as Eric Carr. Well, on a lighter note, I sure hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! If you are like Me, you were just thankful to have the time off of work! On the trading pages, most of the updates have come in the miscellaneous sections! I am happily obtaining more Genesis stuff and looking for much more and I am happy to be hearing from so many new traders. Right now, I have more Genesis on the way as well as some Roxy Music stuff, which I am looking forward to. Speaking of Roxy, I am putting together an interview I am conducting with my good friend, Roxy drummer Paul Thompson, so as soon as that is complete, I will be sure to link it here on my page! In the meantime, hope to hear from you all!
**November 2, 2001** Greetings to all! As you may have already noticed, the page has been growing big time! I have recently started building my own personal site map with links to my favorite stuff and photo albums. I also recently made 3 new pages dedicated solely to Genesis, Rush, and Pink Floyd respectively, as the amount of boots for those bands is really starting to grow! I am looking to expand way beyond Yes right now, so be sure and check my most wanted list to see what I am interested in finding lately. Many thanks and I hope to talk to you all soon!
**October 19,2001** Greetings to everybody! Well, things are changing on the page a bit. You may have noticed that the message board is gone and the reason why is simply that it wasn't being utilized, so I figured I would clear it out to make room for something new: my own personal home page. This is something that I have wanted to do for a while and figured that I would work on as time permits, so look for that on my page soon. On my personal page, you will find photos and links to some of my favorite site, as well as small tributes to my favorite drummers. On the trading front, things have been quite slow lately. A couple of new Yes boots have been added as well as my latest happy miscellaneous find, the Brand X bootleg "Masques Off" featuring one of my favorite drummers of all, Chuck Burgi in place of Phil Collins. Great stuff and a superb drum solo from Chuck as well on one of the tracks. Hopefully I will be able to track down more Brand X stuff in the weeks and months to come. In the meantime, please feel free to visit my personal pages if you are interested. Thanks!
**October 8, 2001** Hello to everyone! It's been a bit since I have updated, but I do have a lot of new shows in that I am trying to get added to the list. I am revising my wanted list as I have now gotten several of the items I was looking for. Be sure to check the list for the new additions and drop me an e-mail if you are interested in any of them!
**September 25, 2001** - Hello to all! Be sure to check out my brand new "Most Wanted Boots" list and also my newly revised Good & Bad trader list! Just got a bunch of new stuff in once again including some really rare stuff (Louisville '77 and Indianapolis '75) plus another 2001 show from the Hollywood Bowl as well as a couple of other Moraz-era shows. Great stuff! Be sure and check out the boots page!
**September 19, 2001** - Just added QPR 1975 to the trade list and corrected the page for "South Side of the Tulsa". I had no idea it was linked wrong! Anyway, it is fixed now for your viewing pleasure! Lots of great stuff will be added in the next few days. Keep checking back!
** September 18, 2001 ** - Greetings to all! Again, I have gotten several new Yes shows in over the weekend and I have been trying to grade everything and put it on the list. There are still two more shows that I have gotten (QPR 1975, and Union Review in Denver in 1991) that I still need to work on but I will have them up as soon as I can. In the meantime, check out what is new and let me know if you're interested in any trades. I am also working on making a good traders page. Why focus only on the bad, right? There are plenty of great traders I have dealt with that deserve a good reference and that is what I want to do for them, so be looking for it here soon!
September 13, 2001- Hello to all. Obviously, in the wake of the terrible tragedy in NYC, I have been glued to the TV as most Americans I am sure have been, and therefore, updates have been slow in coming but I have received a great deal of new shows and most of them have now been categorized. All of the Yes shows are updated and I have expaned the miscellaneous boots section significantly, so be sure and check them out as well. Not all shows on that page have been detailed yet so some of them may be inaccessible at this time but bear with Me, they will be within the next few days. As always, please feel free to browse and ask me questions on any of the shows listed. Hope to hear from you all soon. Thanks!
