I check in approx once a week in stead of at least twice a day in "the good old days". Hardly ever post. I'm not on facebook or other (anti)social media.

 

Same with me, except I do try to check in a few times a week, even if i rarely post anything. Sometimes even daily if there is a thread or two that has caught my interest.  But like referenced up-thread, it's sad how threads can stay on page 1 for several weeks of inactivity before being flipped to page 2.  Compared to yester-year.  It does seem like never more than a couple or three active threads here.  It's funny, I think there is probably more Van Halen talk here than ABB talk, and VH is also no longer an active band even if that is a bit more recent.

Still here...but busier than ever.....and over covid I bought an axe and an amp and playing with some of the best musicians in Western North Carolina....so my chops are at the highest level ever.....cringing at what I may have played earlier in life......but odd... I just interviewed Warren for the 6th time and for the first time ever, I did not ask him a single ABB-related question.  But I tend to live in the here and now and searching for good new music constantly......and I have to say... I LOVE THE NEW MULE ALBUM top to bottom.....but right now there are too many Dead tribute bands and shows, now that they are winding it down, but I am ready for a ABB appreciation revival eventually.......

Did not think it was out yet.

Me too, but what will set that off? Who and whatever controls the "ABB" brand/band/archives/ and etc  seems to do very little keeping them relevant compared to other classic rock/legacy acts.

I drop by maybe once a month, just listened to Laid Back, been a long long while for that one. Damn near made me cry, man, I still miss Gregg. The guy was practically family.

Still hangin' on and rollin' along. Miss the old site and many of the people there. That's life I guess.

I check in occasionally, post rarely. I spend less time on the internet in general.

Still alive and well :). I sure do miss the old days but will surf in from time to time and smile at a post or 2.

Hey, I'll bet there's more of us here than you think.  After all, this is back where it all began, right?

I’m a lurker for sure but check in weekly and still find great info on stuff that keeps me connected with projects and ventures connected with the ABB family. I feel grateful we always seem to have something new to look forward to and I often hear about it here first; Alan’s new book, Duane Bett’s new album, Devon & Donovan’ collaboration etc. Being a ABB fan in the UK over the decades makes you appreciate things a bit more maybe! I remember waiting for my copies of Les Brers to arrive by airmail back in the ‘80’s and I still have every copy safely stashed!

I still check in about once a week to get the latest interesting content from the "regulars".  My appreciation to those who continue to breath life into the forum!

Still here. Don't post much and never really did. Visit a few times a week but rarely sign in. Stay safe.

I still have it but I don't wear it anymore. I don't want to wear it out or over wash it and ruin the colors...

Still here, sometimes for nostalgia and community, secretly fantasizing that a Wanee festival will be announced with all the related bands like Mule, TTB, Jimmy H Band, Panic, Jaimo's band etc.

Over 3 years later I'm still reeling in what all happened in New York on 3/10/20. Bliss.

Present and accounted for. I usually peek in daily but was in Missouri helping my mother in law take care of my father in law for the last 6 weeks and was a little out of touch.

I check out the site a couple times a week and comment irregularly, mostly "what are you listening to". Still listen to a lot of music, from bluegrass to jazz with a little classical and oldies soul thrown in. Love the ABB and think the TTB is the finest band in the land.

I've never been a prolific poster here but I still stop by around once a week on average to see what's going on.
