: : : The other day, I found myself humming a little ditty and couldn't remember where I had heard it. Then, it hit me! It was the "theme" the Gathering 2000 page. It's very "catchy". I tried to play it on my harmonica and ended up hyperventilating.
: : : This morning I was feeling somewhat nostalgic and spent some time in the Gathering '98 and '99 pages. Since NOTHING ELSE was happening, I took my time and read a lot of the comments everyone had to share. Fortunately, I hadn't turned the sound down. (I usually do because my family thinks I'm down here doing laundry.) I was able to enjoy the entire "theme" from '99. Beautiful!

: : Hi Dana -
: : I know what you mean ... the Gathering Pages are a sure source of rejuvenation for me! Seeing the faces, the places, reading everyone's comments ... a GREAT time, for me anyway!
: : My brother Ronnie wrote that theme music on the Gathering '99 & 2000 pages ... he'll be ecstatic to hear you are so fond of it!
: : Hopin' you make it next time around ...

: Hi people!
: Yeah, I've been down that road a few times myself lately! And that tune does it for me every time!! It's so catchy! I was humming it myself as I made dinner one night - next thing I heard my son humming it! So - just out of devilment, I asked him what it was and where he had heard it. 'Oh, just a neat little tune I heard somewhere - but I can't remember where', he replied! This is the boy who would never admit to liking the same music, never mind movie, as I do! But - so much for 'the age gap'!
: Is Ronnie still playing and composing, Rich? A real waste if he isn't!! That boy has talent!! :0)
: Take care, all,
: Kate.
Actually, yes! He teaches music, plays a bit out in clubs or whatever, and is getting into the midi stuff on the computer. In fact, all the pieces we added to the site, 4 in total, are very recent things. I first heard this stuff when I was up in NY this past August for my Grandmother's 100th birthday. I fell in love with the music & immediately knew it needed to be on the Web Site. Asked him if he would mind. Of course, being a dutiful little brother, he had no choice!
