Holiday Wishes

Everyone,

Well, the year has gone by us and
like others, filled with events that
not only affect what we do as drum-
mers but as people and for the rest
of our lives.

No matter how tough it seems to get,
sometimes, if we open our eyes wide
enough, we will see even more blessings
in our lives. The miracle of life is
all around us. It's right here.

Thank you, Steve Holmes, for letting
me be a part of this community. I
want to thank you, the community,
for letting me learn from and share
with you.

I do not take it lightly that I can
speak, with the calibre of players
here, with the occasional miracles
of Pete Erskine, Gary Husband,
Michael Shrieve, and others.

I am so appreciative.

This is my wish that your Holidays
are filled with the incredible joy
of true love and compassion and that
your new year be filled with electric
vision and hope.

Again, thanks and blessings, as the
hallmark birthday celebration, ap-
proaches, this year.

May all of my HOD brother and their families have a blessed holiday and a happy, prosperous and safe new year. You folks are the greatest and I consider it a priviledge to be a part of such a great community of musician and friends. Above all take a moment to reflect and remember and be thankful to the One who gave us this gift of expression through our instrument and most of all gave us the greatest gift of all, His son. PT.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (full of great music!) to everyone.

Merry Christmas guys! HOD really feels like it's grown significantly in the last year. You guys make it my favorite place on the net. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

A VERY Merry Christmas and Blessing's to Everyone here at HOD. You have a way with words Peter, wonderfully put. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] This board is truly a great place to hang.

Just kidding, like have a tight new years!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year fellas.

All the Best.

Here here!!!

Like Peter said..... it's been a real privilage to chat, exchange, and get to know some really great people and players on this site. Thanks Steve for all your compassion on my end.

As I've said before.... the drumming family is a pretty tight knit one amongst musicians, and I consider it a real privilage to "hang" with some really cool people here.

Drinks are on me!!!! [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/martini.gif[/img]

Happy Holidays everyone!!

Johnno

Merry Christmas everyone! Don't forget to practice while chunking the Dock or the thurkey!

I hope everyone here at HOD is half as blessed as I am. Have a safe and wonderful Christmas and New Year!!!!!

Pete,

I studied for a degree in English Literature, and I like to think I know a thing or two about the English language, I'm pretty widely read. It always amazes me the strength of grammar you possess... I?ve read fine prose that is not as well thought out as some of the musings you offer us? You are so eloquent in your postings, it adds weight to your (already very valuable) comments?

That's what I love about this board, as well as people knowing a thing or two, there are no 'trolls' or idiots whose contribution is less than 100% effort...

Thanks again guys, and Steve in particular for giving us all a place to exchange ideas and inspiration.

Merry Christmas and God Bless you all in the New Year...
