Just go back and listen to that track.David sings about all the things he will try to do for his girl, but admits "It Ain't So Easy". This board has swayed and nearly lost it's balance several times, but it all boils down to the common denominator of us all being David Baerwald fans. The thrill of the AFM release,the jaw dropping you feel when DB replies to a question you posted,and the tour maybe didn't set attendance records, but in a way it made the show THAT much more intimate.

I've been lucky enough to experience all of the situations in that last paragraph not to mention meeting David and conversing with him at great length after his show in Seattle. He came back to MY table to finish a conversation started before the show started. He truly cares about his fans.

A lot of the political debating that goes on at times,do you think happens on any other artists sites'? I sure as hell don't. I see it as another reason why we all visit this board as often as we do.

I thank Dan and Pat as often as possible for the tremendous amount of energy exerted keeping this site as brilliant as it is. Being part of the copying network is still exciting to me. I only wish I could contribute more.

As far as I'm aware David's new projects with Hans Zimmer could result in some of the finest work he's ever done. So after all my ramblings, I hope everyone feel like they used to and contribute as often as they wish, but walking away from this site seems a bit extreme.

All the best, Kyle
