Just a friendly hello to a Viggo fan.

[tvega12004]

I would like to send a friendly hello to my best friend Patti.  She just recently joined and is also an admirer of Mr. Viggo Mortensen.  I told her about this site and I\'m glad she\'s  a member now.

Hi Patti and welcome to the Music.

I would also say , "Welcome to the Viggo", but I wouldn\'t want to give you the wrong impression and start a stampede!

Besides, with all that sudden comotion he might get away ... *cough*

What!

[BellaLuna]

Welcome to the forum, Patti!  Please don\'t be shy--heck, we\'re not.  

Ocean, sweetie, you\'re just too funny!   Ya made my day!  

Peace  
Bella )O(

[tvega12004]

Thanks everyone for making my best friend feel welcomed!
I\'m glad that she\'s a member.  And I have to agree with BellaLuna, Ocean you are a riot.  It\'s a pleasure.  It\'s cool to be able to discuss all types of music especially Mr. Mortensen\'s.

[m4sure]

Welcome Patti!
I\'m sort of new here too!
Glad to see so many Viggo appreciaters ere!!!!!!!  lol!

Here\'s a recent pic I took of Viggo!

[glb]Laughter, smiles and good hearted humor. Just another service I offer. [/glb]

 

Now if someone would do me the service of finding my right cheek, I\'d be good to go.

Ok, who are you and how did you sneak a camera into my special closet!?
Uh, *cough*, what I mean is.... Um.....




 No seriously though, how did you come by that pic. Darlin!?  And thank you for sharing a Viggo snap with the rest of the class.

that\'s good. Viggo probably has a ton of sites now, and Travis just has this one...which represents many other artists too.

Hello everyone, Hi from sunny Wales I love music, and as you read my best friend Teresa`s post you also know I`m a big fan of "The Man" himself   What a friendly bunch of guys and gals   Thanks for cheering up my day.
By the way, Lovely pic of Viggo Yes, I would have liked to take a pic of him myself  
Love to you all, Patti xx

Since some of us are new to TDRS\' work, why don\'t some of you other members start a thread and tell us which other artists are your favorites & why--we\'d love to know.  

BTW, I like some \'World\' musics--is there any TDRS artist that slips in that slot?  

Peace

The best recommendation I could make would be that people should look carefully and thoroughly at the site and the major thrust of the threads previously posted.

Buckethead, a Travis & Buckethead collaborative duo Thanatopsis, Cornbugs, Vince DiCola, Travis\' brother Lindy, and various others... generally all engineered by Travis, and most with his keyboard talents on display as well.  Travis is a wonderful musician and engineer.

Most of the people you run into here are either musicians &/or into Travis\' work, or the works of other musicians on the site.  Every once in a while someone comes here because of Viggo, but it isn\'t a Viggo fan site type of place and i think most of them find it boring.  

This site is generally about music, Viggo\'s included... although we have been know to get into political debates - but i see politics and civil liberties as intrinsically tied to music and all other arts.  Yes, Travis, i know it\'s usually my fault, mea culpa babe!  

I have to say that zuzu\'s got a very strong point on the website issue...  you get 6370 hits if you enter "Travis Dickerson Studio" - and only one of them is an actual site devoted to his work, this one.  The rest are mentions of him and his studio.  Viggo gets 748,000 hits and god only knows how many of those are fan sites with gobs of photos and sitings and gossip and speculation about his personal life, his past and upcoming movies and all that wonderful fame related folderol.

Does this mean "Bog off if you`re only interested in Viggo" ?
Okay, I know where the Viggo sites are, but we might just be interested in music as well  
Best wishes, Patti xx

I have been following this thread for a little while hoping not to say anything but I feel I should at least make my philosophy clear. I started this site as a place to talk about the artists I record with. I have always let the discussion go where ever it wanted and for the most part been delighted with the caliber of those discussions. I think  gkg said it very well and it\'s an old rule when you go into a new forum to look around to soak up the atmosphere of the discussions before you participate you will be more in sync with  the people who are already there. I wouldn\'t want to walk into a large gathering of people and start spouting off about getting plastered last night to find out you where at a gathering of Mothers against Drunk Driving. Now I must say nothing like that is going on now, those that have come here as fans of Viggo\'s seem to get that this is not just a Viggo fan site and have been asking questions about the connection of artist here and that\'s what this is all about. I have resisted splitting this forum into categories by artist because the mixing of these artists is a big part of what we do around here so I\'m hoping the forum can reflect that. Fan over-enthusiasm is not just confined to movie stars, I\'ve seen a bit of that related to guitar heroes as well, so go ahead and discuss what you like but I hope you will be mindful that my desire for this forum is to be a place for thoughtful discussion on art, music, politics and the merits of  artists works. Both myself and I\'m sure Viggo as well appreciate having at least one place that\'s less about idolatry and more about the work.

Travis & everyone

Oh dear...I\'m sorry if I upset anyone by posting my pic of Viggo on here. It wasn\'t meant to spark off a Viggo fan discussion. I came here to learn about all the other sorts of music that I would never of heard of elsewhere. Yes I am a Viggo fan...yes I have met him...yes I even like his music too. Yet I am also interested in other stuff namely...hearing about other Artists.

[gkg]

now i\'m rolling on the floor laughing

we all like viggo just fine - and no one is denying he\'s nice to look at.  we\'re just saying that\'s not what this site is about.

and the way to learn about the other artists?  as said above, look around the site.  give a listen here and there.  follow links and do searches to find out more if you find stuff you get into.

 

[Patti]

Thanks, now I will go look around your lovely site, and see what`s happening in the music World.
Love and peace man, yes I`m a child of the 60s and proud of it but I look more like a school-teacher than a Hippy!
Best wishes, my comments made with a light heart
