Are you ready to rock? Are you ready for a good time? Let's make some noise!!!
Today marks not an end to the FNGT, but marks a new chapter. There may be laughter and joy, or there may be tears and sorrow. For some, it could be both - and that's okay.
Let us huddle around the final embers that was the fire of Voat - but let us not go out silently. Let us leave this place with ruckus and merriment. Let us not just make enough noise to be heard 'round the fire, but let us make enough noise to be heard for miles around - so that others may appreciate our gifts.
Today it is the last guitar thread on Voat. If Voat goes down during the thread, look for us on Preview Voat
Like a Phoenix, we shall rise from the ashes and be enjoined anew on Poal.

Sad to see this place go. I’m currently still working on a new song (maybe ready for tomorrow on Poal), so I’ll have to share a couple older songs. I shared this last month but nobody was around except maybe COF and Crazy.
Just a pretty simple blues tune I kind of wrote on the spot in the studio. It’s called Street Lights

Oh, that's sweet. I know from the first two bars that I like it. That's some smooth fingers and the bass player has the timing going on.
I don't do this often, but this one might get downloaded. In all of the FNGT history, I've downloaded fewer than a dozen tracks from other people - and most of the tracks I've downloaded where about me in one way or another.
We did some BB King recently.
Oh, wait... I recognize that voice. Ha! Now I figured it out. I forgot you changed your name.
LOL I had no idea who you were but then I was like, "Hold on... Wait a sec, I know that voice."
You do have a forum account, right?

Good. I'll be really pissed if you don't drop in once in a while.
You able to do any gigging or did you miss the Christmas season?

My band was able to play all through the summer tourist season, so they've got their nest egg back up AND they're eligible for unemployment. That's a rarity! They all make their only income through their musicianship AND they got unemployment!
It's a good thing I set it up as a business and did all the proper paperwork. ;-)
That's why I still need to work with the band, I still have much to teach. So much to teach...
This year of nothing means I'm very likely to sign yet another contract with 'em. I'm looking at 2023 at the best.
I suck at retiring.
