Title: Signing off for a few months ...
Post by: Fourth Feline on March 07, 2011, 07:10:16 PM
Just a quick ( but wholly positive  ) note to say that I will be disapearing from the forum for a few months, to better consolidate and develop my Jazz / general musical education. 

Thankfully , this is because I have recently been able to return to the guitar and music in general - with better concentration, and a clearer awareness of which studies and disciplines  need thoroughly re-visiting - before I can move on in my playing and musical knowledge in general.

I also feel that my ( somewhat outdated ) novice soundclips , which are still floating round from a year ago - need to be re-worked and later re- recorded in a way that better represents the  B.K.P. pickups used. In the same spirit , ones perspectives and opinions evolve - so it's time to do the required work instead of going online and talking about planning to do it.  :lol:

Lastly, because many of the longer term forumites are aware of my underlying health issues - and have kindly enquired after my well being in the past , I did not want it to appear in any way sinister - nor anyone to think I had stopped enjoying the forum.   This way, I set myself the clear target of returning at a later date - and having something tangible to mark my return with.

I will leave this thread on for a few short days, then delete my account for the interim period.

Meanwhile , all the very best to you all - and thank you for your  support and friendships thus far . I look forward to dropping new soundfiles and speaking to you again in a few months.

Cheers !  :drink:

Good luck Derek!! :D

Really glad you posted this - just now I saw you show up in a thread as a "Guest", and I must admit I thought the worst for a few minutes and went hunting for news.

So glad it wasn't that! :lol:

Come back soon.
