I have just clicked in. Happy to have you in my digiteria. I hope you are having a great show.

Thank ye kindly, MrM

Welcome, Richard M

MrM ! West Siiiiiddeeeee! Represent !!!!!

Sorta Led Zeppelin, 'the psychedelic years' vibe to me.

Good morning

Yo Roff!

I don't hear it, Roffle, but maybe I didn't listen to enough Led Zeppelin

NorthWestSiiidddeee!!! 😎

Many people have lived full lives without listening to much zep.

That's your problem right there.

true

one of many

It all shakes out with an epic ending.

Dave are you implying that you've lived more than one full life

no, just that I have not listened to much LedZep

and I have more than one problem

You are not alone. 3 out of five younger persons have no idea who they are according to clinical studies.

It's a common affliction that growing.

@Roff https://youtu.be/9CPkWtGbWdU

LOL

we're talking Oakland, not Vancouver, MrM

WestSiiidddeee is CALIFORNIA. Nothing else exists.

Yup, that colony is lost in time and space.

Got lost when the Raiders moved for the 7th time

lol, they got the Dodgers too.

oh boy

The Japanese have plans and are up to something.

This ooioo is so great

I look beautiful on this album cover 💀

Hooooooly shit peaking during this Zorn piece is an experience

i'll have to take your word for it

Oh come on Dave, have mercy! Die Kaht 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Reindeer antler guitars.

Long dark winters takes their toll.

I can understand

¡EldoradoЯéМiFaSolLaSiDo!

🫣

that, I believe, is the desired reaction
