We know what happens when religion and/or politics rear their ugly heads on here.....people take umbridge and bugger off. So its probably best not to mention it......oh, I just did. When you don your Guardian outfit will you be squeezed into the same phone box as ZZW, Ginnie? Oh, no worries, me and Vic have a quite glamourous phone booth at the cabin... Oh wow, that sounds great! You and Vic haven't told us any news from the cabin for AGES!! But then, you probably don't get to go there much in the winter time.

But then, you probably don't get to go there much in the winter time. Well as you know Penny, the cabin need a renovation - a new look - it was starting to look quite drab. So over the winter we're getting some work done. New pics coming soon! No, this is not the cabin itself - its the jamming room for us musicians...

I think Facebook will run its course and as for killing this, i hope not, as ZZW has said SAHBs inactivity is stultifying at times, not that the guys are there to keep us all amused i hasten to add, what i find unusual is that there are a shitload of SAHB fans on Facebook who have never been here??? Also, perhaps this forum is quiet because due to some recent - ish stooshies/disagreements/rows etc, a lot of folks are being really circumspect about what they post, i know i am due to being in the middle of a few rows myself, but things are cyclical usually and the forum will rise again of that i'm sure. Cavey-we might have to spice things up again here goes George W Bush is God !

I don't think that Facebook is killing the board at all. I feel that the lack of any up and coming activity by the band has resulted in a lull. It's almost coming to a natural demise. Facebook on the other hand is much farther reaching (and has had a film about it) So, I have a cunning plan: Why don't everyone that goes on here and on Facebook invite our Facebook friends to check out the Official website and Forum. If nothing else we have made a lot of people aware of the forum's existence. All you have to do is make your status Check out the SAHB forum on the Official Sensational Alex Harvey Band website at sahb.proboards.com/index.cgi

Facebook is not and will not kill our forum - apathy and forum fatigue could, though.
There is always a lull after an event (5th Feb in this case) and the onset of Spring with longer days and lighter evenings takes us to other leisure pursuits that cannot be followed during Winter.
Perhaps the Facebook endeavour will generate more forum members - it is to be hoped so - but the flurry of newbies we've had recently has not resulted in their posting.
There is no doubt that the band remaining defiantly dormant is not helpful - how are the forums of other bands who no longer gig or tour?

Beatle forums are always quite active - there's so much to discuss - who wrote what, when, how, what instruments were used, what studio was used, who engineered, who did what and why.... but that the BEATLES!

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Ginnie. They'll never be in that Hall of Fame. Not that they don't deserve to be though. Surely, they are better than some members like the Mama's and the Papas and The Pretenders!

Facebook has gone bananas, so I've given up on there for tonight.

I voted 'who cares' cos tbh I don't anymore. Too many good people no longer post to any sort of length, I'm as guilty as the next man mind and I don't see it changing. I have a lot of interaction with SAHB fans old and new (to me anyway) on Facebook, so maybe that is the way forward.
