Hi Chas,,I think I feel what you feel a bout the chasing and when I read your post I know its all true(many issues) and I think we must have the patience so you can sort out these and make a video with a a good sound and so on...I can imagine that you don't want one that is bad in your opinion,,
I got good memorys when I think on that banner,,we had a good get together and it was a magic feel and I hope you have it too..
Be well
Willem
Edit:: well thats me but I also agree with what others try to say with sending it a long,,,hope the spirit is not gone..
TG Banner World Signature Tour
Don't blame the community for wanting to move the banner along, Chas. Their hearts are in the right place. If you can't get it together (because of work obligations, health issues, or whatever) to do a video, please just sign the banner and move it along. That's all people are asking you to do.
Chas, you got to be kidding me, you're a bit dissapointed because some of us express their frustrations about you keeping the banner for over four months????? Can you honestly do not understand why the community is getting 'impatient'? After four months???
And no, the banner ain't júst a piece of vinyl, why would we let it travel around the world if it was just thát??? We can do the sharing and caring right here on the forum or in private just fine as well. So it's way more than that, it's indeed about the community, not just one person. And if it's just that to you, then by all means, send it along!!!!

Well first of all my apologies again, I concede it has been a while.
However, I thought the banner was about community and us sharing not the actual banner; that's the reason I sent it on to Dennis so a group of TG'ers getting together could share, so people its going to cost me twice to pass this on, wasn't that community spirit?. Seems I might have been mistaken I also alluded to PC issues (still not resolved so the video I'm making is being done with a crappy webcam and its audio, and all my guitars sound alike through that, although that could be my playing effort lol!) I also mentioned work issues, hey it's the 'silly season here and I'm doing 12 -14 hr days, unlike some I don't live , eat and breath guitar and music even although Id love to!. I also mentioned health issues (didn't go into detail as I wasn't soliciting a sympathy vote) and you know... for the size of this community only one person got in direct contact to ask how I was. Again not looking for sympathy as I am aware of other TG'ers with worse ailments than myself, who are often inspirational and help others here with how they get around health issues and freely share how they do this.
To take a picture and do something later is a cop out and to be honest if I did that I'd probably never follow up; having this reminder of the community sitting on my computer desk is a great motivator for me.
So all in all a bit disappointed with some of the reactions here given I've already said it will be going to Tony soon, so patience guys. Hey the banner is a piece of vinyl and ink, its what it represents a symbol of a caring, sharing community, if I'm wrong about that then maybe TG has changed even more than I thought.
PS Tony I need your address tried to pm and ask but that function doesn't seem to work at present, send it via FB message if you like.

Well, I don't know much about this banner, as it started before I came along; (Indiana, USA): would love to sign it!
But anyway, the reason I'm putting in my 2 cents is that I can sympathize with both sides here.
Some of you are laying it on pretty thick; why don't we just hunt him down, and cut slices in his fretting fingers, and add some salt to the wounds?
On the other hand, Chas., 4 months is quite a spell. Seems like perhaps you could have made some other arrangements to move it along, you know, a sense of responsibility, perhaps? In your defense, the issues you describe could well have been such that it was simply impossible to get it going along; only you know the truth, and we are, but, speculating.
All of this is in the past, now; let's ALL go on to the present, and future, shall we?
This is my ignorant opinion.
Love you all,
Terry

It's the first time I've commented on this monster thread- and I pissed someone off.
I wasn't speaking to you specifically, Ness. If I offended you, I apologize.
I just meant for everyone to take a breather.. play your guitars and have fun..
Cheers!
**Edit- I also re-read my earlier comment and can see how you might take it the wrong way..
"Go to your corners" is a term in boxing that the ref uses to break up fighters when they're locked together-- which is how I meant it.
I did NOT mean Go to your corner- you've been a bad boy/girl.
Maybe you read it the way I meant it- maybe not.
Either way- it's way too easy to be misinterpreted in text with no intonation.
Back to the shadows for me..

I now have Tony's address and it will be on its way shortly.
I am suitably embarrassed as I honestly did not realise it had been so long. At the same time also disappointed at some reactions.. but a few have sent really supportive messages which I truly appreciate thanks guys . Also received some very direct messages from people here I call friends and will always call them friends. Done in a cool appropriate way don't need detail here ...but again to those many thanks; these messages are enough to keep me here on TG.
Tony enjoy the banner hope the Christmas post doesn't delay things any longer.
Here ends this topic... surely!
