I thought I would say hello!
I live in North Carolina but I was brought in London UK, and I was introduced to your site by my old pal Mystic Fred.
We went to school together and spent our teen years and early twenties listening to the same music , hanging out with our pals, chasing the girls and having a great time.
I remember him bringing in Led Zeplin albums and playing them continualy, especialy Led Zep 2. We did a few concerts, Rush and dare I say it, Status Quo. We were and I still am an avid fan of Genesis, he introduced me to Marillion. We attended the hifi shows in Harrowgate and listened avidly to Pink Flods Dark Side of the Moon being played by Tannoy through speakers set in dustbins.
I also like Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Iron Maiden, Vangalis, Yes and lots of others if there was enough time to list them all. I really enjoyed writing this listening to East of Edens Jig a Jig (nearly got up and danced around)
It is really great to have a site where I can listen to great music, thanks!

No I have not yet , I live 4000 miles away so the bus ride is a bit long LOL!
But I have seen photo's so when I visit next I will come prepared with the kind of sun glasses you need to view an eclipse!
Thanks for the kind greeting.

Hi Degsey,
Mystic Fred, the erstwhile founder of our Shed is held in high regard amongst the social drop-outs who inhabit it...so do pop in, you'll be assured of a warm welcome...
and if you wish to explore a bit of Prog Metal with one easy 'hit' please click on my MySpace page...
 see you around... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |
