Favorite Music, Artists, Genres:Although I pretty much grew up on Hillbilly, Rockabilly, and BLUES, which gave birth to Rock and Roll, I love Reggae, Chamber Music (most of all!), Flamenco, Middle Eastern Music, Ragas, and much more. And lest we forget, high praise to Country Joe and the Fish! (I sure as HELL wouldn't want to live on a planet devoid of music), but MOST OF THE TIME, Luigi Boccherini, Georg Philip Telemann, Johann Christian Bach, Jean-Marie LeClair, Giuseppe Tartini, Antonio Vivaldi, Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach, Celtic Music, Flamenco, Afro Celt Sound System, Gino d' Auri, Loreena McKennitt, Junior Wells, Jeff Beck, Third World, Big Youth, Of course--Brother Bob (Robert Nestor) Marley, Killer Miller, Pietro Locatelli, Mauro Guliani, Ferdnando Carulli, For 20 Years, I bought NOTHING but Blues and/or Reggae, but when "RAP" started creeping into it, my taste abruptly switched to Chamber music! And, of course, Music of the Spheres.

Wish List:
-
Most Baffling Question:
Affiliations
-
Political Affiliation:Candidates I support:
-
Religious Affiliation:
-
Employers:
-
Colleges:
-
High Schools:
-
Other Affiliations:I think very highly of myself, isn't that enough? Even so, since I freely acknowledge myself to be an idiot, have few restraints against acknowledging OTHERS to be idiots as well (or even worse!), I'm even willing to go so far as to admit to being formerly of the Human Race (to my shame!), which I would now rather deny. ~ Also, I refuse to refer to myself as "Christian", because claiming to be "CHRIST-LIKE" would be stretching the truth, to say the least.

Lonnie F., Nov 14, 2009, 1:50PM ESTWell DAWGgone it Gerald. I answered your last ping--but on my own page.!!! Ise backurds like 'at sumtimes.
Anyway, the crux of what I said was:
have you read my post 'ON BEING SAVED..FROM THE CHURCH'.?
It's autobiographical with an artul touch--and will tell you more about me than you'd probably care to know:
but at least you'll better understand the unecpected journey I'm on.
And I sure do appreciate the connection we've made. Thank you for your kind interest and friendship connection.// Lonnie "Go Dawgs" Fowler. ( and by the way-- I thought in no way you were atheistic --but that is my version of what they say. So many who go to Seminary lose their faith altogether.) -
Lonnie F., Nov 14, 2009, 12:58PM ESTGerald-- is that why some feel the straightest path to atheism is through the doors of Seminary ????? lol ( though it ain't funny really). Lonnie

Lonnie F., Nov 14, 2009, 5:29AM ESTGerald-- may I ask if that 'some college in Ga' was either at the home of the bulldawgs-- or the yellow jackets; either one.
A question from your Ga. native friend//Lonnie -
Lonnie F., Nov 13, 2009, 10:55PM ESTGerald, sir--- thanks for the kind friend-request. Proud to accept.
2 notes of interest:
1. During 66- 69, i lived with my aunt in Long Beach, Ca, and went to Long Beach PolyTech.
2. Never been there, but my favorite group, and one I've met and corresponded with, is The Statler Bros.--- from Staunton West Virginia.
Thanks again. respectfully, Lonnie -
Marian Meg Phillips, Nov 12, 2009, 6:43PM ESTWe're voluntary WVians... I spent some time in the area in the late 60's and decided to wander this way and put down some roots on a few acres...
Who knows we might even raise some dental floss? -
Marian Meg Phillips, Nov 6, 2009, 10:15PM ESTSeems we have a lot in common... have enjoyed your posts and will continue to read them. My husband and I have always let our freak flag fly! Still have a ratty- tattered remnant of one I had at Woodstock.
