Who of you knows, or remembers, the song "Sweet Soul Music" by the late Arthur Conley? Back in mid 2010, I'd
been toying with the idea of adapting the lyrics to suit The Beach Boys----and a holiday spent walking the cliff paths
overlooking the English Channel lent itself perfectly to such mental activity. Two long hikes and a modicum of
tweaking and there it was. Apart from the obvious names it makes reference to the many posters (and even a
handful of spammers) who graced our previous home. Those unfamiliar with the song are advised to check it out--
--otherwise what follows may well resemble the ramblings of an idiot.

Perhaps it's prudent to add that RLA in the last verse is today's DarkGothic Queen, this board's moderator. Once a major Al fan, she's since switched allegiance to Daryl Dixon and Paul "Jesus" Rovia of The Walking Dead.

How about this, retrieved using Wayback Machine? You can admire Bob's cool design before Crapatalk got its filthy mitts on our former home:

Now that is a blast to the past! I remember dropping out of that game. lol!

Cool to see our old avatars and signature pictures as well. The one on mine is when we was in our local paper for featuring on the Beach Boys tribute cd back in 2006, with the paper featuring us in 2007, cool stuff. Me and my brother had to make excuses to our school to leave early for the photographer from the paper, lol!

Hey, I wonder if the Viper still watches us these days?  Suspect

Cool story there, Rich. Yes, those were crazy times. This was shortly before DJ arrived at the Cap Board...

I doubt whether Viper looks in here anymore -- he must have other things on his mind right now.
