Welcome , one & all! We hope that there will be a bunch of you stopping by and contributing here at TheFret! As a long time forum member/moderator here (and a much more recent Heritage owner and member at the HOC forum), I'm confident that you'll find this to be a welcoming and civilized corner of the interwebs! Of course, we ask that you observe the rules of the forum (http://www.thefret.net/faq.php) and help keep this place a bit more drama-free than what you may have experienced recently!

Howdy, PK! Good to see ya over here. Robert's place is a little more tame and civil than most, including MWGL. PG rated instead of R.

Howdy! Good to have you back. I see you changed your forum name (I forgot what the old one was). We haven't seen much of Shiner and CB in a while. Same with Wings Dad and R_of_G.

I keep up with the Shiners on FB, really miss R_of_G though. Between the two of you my music collection improved dramatically. (and I was Tio Kimo) And Wings was really fighting some health issues. hope he's ok.

Cool, the Shiners seem like really good people. I had R_of_G's email address at one time but lost it so I can't get a hold of him. We see several past Fretters pass through now and then. Maybe the new influx of HOC peep's will bring more back. Anyone smart enough to go with a Heritage can't be that bad!

The shellacking I took from him at that nearly ended our friendship, haha. Thanks for letting us hang our hat here, Robert; here's hoping a lot of the good folks from the HOC decide to join us.

Glad to make your acquaintances! And good to see @PunkKitty here too! PK, this was my first forum, and it is a really good one! Great folks here. Welcome all! And Happy Holidays!

Welcome, Schundog!
I'd add to the list of things you do NOT recommend doing with Robert: distance running
He never brags, but the man is a beast in running shoes.

thanks for the warm welcome back SVL. I don't know if the Heritage crowd will gain traction here. But I think I'll be more consistent.

Just had a convo about taking over rhythm duties with a soul band, so my rig will need to get into race day condition, and you guys have the skill to help.
