Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Well hello to anyone who's discovered this new thread .... and welcome!!!

For some time I've noticed things are a bit quiet on a Saturday, especially in the evening. So this will be a social gathering for all forumites and hopefully a place to relax and meet friends. It's also a place where you can talk about whatever's going on for you at the moment, safely, and find support.

If you want to bring something to eat or drink that would be welcome, whatever makes you happy.

Actually that may be a good place to start - jump in anywhere and let us know one thing that makes you happy - currently or over time.

Really looking forward to finding a posse to hang with on a Saturday.

L E T ' S P A R T Y !!!

Hi @Appleblossom yes apologies go a long way don't they. It's great to hear that you felt totally included last night. We've both come a long way since joining the forums. But even at that stage you and I had some wonderful conversations, especially during long empty nights when I was otherwise isolated. Really meant a lot to me connecting with you and @Mazarita so deeply back then. You are you and special. You don't have to like or dislike anything because someone else disapproves. Especially the type of music you enjoy. That's just a part of what makes you special xx

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Am enjoying listening to the Ry Cooder gentle track. atm @eth

Partly everyone would go on so much about their favourites. They were all very different from mother and Beethoven, to Italian gf ethnic crooners to Elvis and Deep Purple, then it was New Orleans and Prf Longhair, then pub rock scene. All the music opinions were very dismissive of those who did not agree with them. I never got around to really making my own decision about what I liked. The need and expectation to fit in was so strong for me.

On my first day leaving home a guy had a car accident in Torquay and people living there were nice and let us in with the usual hospitality of the period and played Ry Cooder ... They were over the top about him I had never heard of him. I usually lost out on any so called relaxed social music conversations ... everyone else always knew more ... someone always had some point to score ... I was shut up and shut out ...now I guess that just meant they had more spare time and more disposable money and hidden agendas.

Now Google search engine has loaded up Anoushka Shankar ... I like that too. Sitar and Violin ... East and West conversing ....

Its really music when conversations ebb and flow ... and people are open.

Yes Hugs for @Mazarita Beautiful Soul.
