Hi All
Having been an "innocent bystander" and observer of the list for a while =
now, the events of the last month or so have finally persuaded me to =
come down off the fence and join all the fun. As others have said, now =
more than ever is a time when Oils fans have to stick together.
I've been a fan since 1984, and again like others, the music, message =
and values behind the band have shaped my own value system. Being a New =
Zealander, I unfortunately haven't had so many opportunities to see the =
guys live as you fortunate souls in Oz and the US (you'd think a quick =
hop across the Tasman every so often wouldn't be such a big deal!?), but =
the 4 times I have seen them would definitely rate as the best 4 live =
concerts I've been to. Was lucky enough to be living in Sydney when =
Breathe was launched, so the concert at Selina's holds a bit of a =
special place.
Anyway, enough boring background. I guess like any "newbie", and despite =
trawling back through the archives alot, I have the usual same old list =
of questions that have been asked before, so apologies in advance for =
this. Firstly, the ftp servers sound fantastic, but must say I am having =
difficulty accessing them despite knowing a bit about ftp - is this =
normal as I guess they get hammered pretty hard, or are they taking a =
well earned holiday!? Secondly, I need to be educated on the nature of =
CD and video "weeds"! I've been a pretty keen collector of rare stuff =
over the years, but am keen to pick up a wider range of bootleg and live =
recordings, as well as trade wherever possible.
Other than that, am looking forward to "getting more involved", and am =
rapt to see there's such a big group of positive folks out their keeping =
it all alive.
Cheers
