h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Let me start by saying "always good to welcome another north american...especially one with not only an interest in music, but one who's actively pursuing a career in it!"(Sincerely, best of luck with that man!) And myon your Governator comment:*in best Schwartzeneger impersonation* Creativity, "Asta la vista, baby!" Mozart is finito...check your history books.

Anyway, down to brass tacks or sax reeds or whatever! I'm popping in as one of the assistant community editors or <./>ACEs</.> here. We greet newbies like yourself & leave you some useful links to help you settle in. First I suppose read the Welcome page@ A53146 for an introduction. Speaking of which, thanks for providing a substantial one - you've got great visual options for enhancing it though-including the smileys/emoticons like; ,,, etc. Check out explanations of the possibilities in 'spicing up your page'@ A690518 . And for any clarification or assistance, there's the Personal Space Workshop@ A1123354 .

Like most large communities we've got a variety of Clubs & Societies. You'll find those listed by category@ A660340 & that includes both a Musicians Guild & regional researchers' groups. We also have a weekly newspaper<./>thepost</.> which comes out Thurs. evenings British time - if I'm right, about noon west coast time. (An hour earlier than me in any case, I'm up in western Canada-Edmonton Alberta to be specific.)

But anyway my colleague Feisor has compiled a comprehensive list of Hints & Links@ A719840 . Take your time going over that & basically having a good look around...there's quite a bit to see & do! I think you'll find this a friendly & informative community to be apart of. Any questions or anything feel free to leave me a message using the 'Reply' button, alright. Adios!*waves

Oh & check out http://www.hughfraser.com/veji.html , that's the group I'll be catching in just under 2 hours.
