Hello and welcome to HIP

 

Welcome to Hip and note you have similar music tastes that mirrors mine

 

Very cool! I also love a lot of 70s prog rock with a great lady on vocals. Feel free to ask (or offer) recommendations

Here's one I can't enough of right now


Thanks everyone!

 

Welcome to HIP!!

 

Matey - I prefer this !!!

 

I prefer Chicago, the city itself

 

Matey, like all cities, they're noisy, crowded and polluted !!!

 

So true.. But I only went to Chicago to see concerts.... I live in a city, and I can't stand noise pollution. But the rent is so cheap - just wished the houses weren't so close to each other.

 

I live in a 'flat' (an apartment you would call it), so I have neighbours above, below and either side of me.

 

Welcome to HIP

 

Thank you!

 

Welcome from Eugene Oregon.

Good music and movie list.

 

Especially Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
And my favorite Chicago tune:

 

I'm listening to Chicago right now
"Treasure" might be Bogart's best. Nice father-son director-actor team with the Hustons, too. Every human theme is covered in that simple movie. I've seen it a handful times. I love the scene when Curt has "the thought" but goes back and doesn't let the greed kill his soul.
Thanks for the welcome...

 

Welcome from NC.
