On May 16 of this year, this board will have operated for 20 years. Actually, it existed for maybe 2 or 3 years before that, I think, on a different software platform.

There are people on this board who weren't born when it started.

Ah the good old days........where does the time go :boggle:

Yes, I remember the previous board: My car still had stones for wheels and floorboard cutouts for my feet.

Thanks for the memories Dale. Starting C&F has been a benefit to so many over the years, we owe you a debt of gratitude. Really, thanks man.

Yeah, I remember seasoned Chiffers mentioning the previous incarnation. Didn't it have a different name, too?

My memory ain’t what it used to be, but my recollection is that there was no name change, just a change in platforms.

Tell us something.: Some of my original tunes are displayed at https://thesession.org/members/49476
I play several flutes, many whistles, many guitars, bouzouki, banjo, and own way too many pedals.
I could open a music store if I didn't live in the back woods of Pennsylvania.

I was well into my 10,000 hours by then.
It's all been downhill from there.

My recollection as well.
At least one of those earlier platforms let you hit a button and record a clip directly into a post. I still kind of miss that feature.

Absolutely!
I remember the image well but not the story so what's the story behind the image? Who is that kid?

The image was one of my motivators for sticking with the whistle.

Damn. Obviously we've dodged that bullet. But it's safe to say that Chiffco® should no longer hope for more such grace, for while we may be obscure, we're not obscure enough. It's a shame, really; I always really liked doughty Wee Liam. He makes you want to cheer him on.
