Topic: Memories!

I used to be a regular on Chordie in my early teens (wow seems like a lifetime ago!). I went by the username last_rebel, and received alot of advice/encouragement from the mods and users on this site, even wrote a few songs. I'm 20 years old now, have outgrown my teenage angst and resentment and am much less a rebel of any sort than just a quiet old soul in young person's skin lol. Its mostly soft-spun indie folk for me these days, or something equally pretty/mellow. Anyways,  when I look back now, I can't imagine being in the place I am as a player (which is still no Jimi Hendrix, but a sight better than clumsy three chord downstrokes) without this place. Whether it was jerome's lesson stickies, or doc phil's quirky threads, this place really helped me in my early stumbling stages to build confidence and skills. I was thinking about that this morning and figured I'd revisit the old haunt....
  I don't know if any of the old ghosts are still hanging around, but I miss you guys and still think about you every once in a while smile Many thanks for all the help and memories!

All you need is love

Re: Memories!

It's great to hear from you Rebel! Lil Wing too wink Believe it or not I was thinking of you just the other day when I was going through some of my old chordie posts.  I'm glad your doing well and still enjoying making music. Do you still draw a lot as well? I remember you being good at it...  Hope to see you around more often now wink -Pix

Re: Memories!

LOL completely forgot I made a profile under than name... coincidentally my deviant art nickname. I mostly go by my "alias" (aka middle name) on internet stuffs now.

The drawings on this profile are mostly from last year, but I'll be (hopefully) uploading some new stuff soon. I'm starting to get brave and experiment with acrylic paints!

Re: Memories!

Hi, so I guess it is Beth and not Hannah now then, but welcome back. You were always a level headed and knowledgable teenager and I have missed your posts.

Did you know that as 'last_rebel' you made 882 posts and 'lilwing' 40 so if you had kept your original name you would be well on the way to becoming an Honoured Member.

I kope you plan to stay around a while,

Roger

Re: Memories!

Welcome back.  I recall being surprised to discover how young you were, as your posts suggested a level of good sense beyond your meager years.  Please hang around and rejoin the fray.  I've still got one of your songs in my songbook.

Re: Memories!

I have just changed the old username 'last-rebel' to 'HannahBeth' so that Hannah (or Beth) can return with benefit of the recognition of her previous contributions to Chordie.
