Hello LP

Hello L; Well I found your user page with no trouble at all and am thrilled to be the second person to welcome you to wikipedia. I suspect that your knowledge of the American music scene will help bring it to life here, on wikipedia. Carptrash 18:05, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Nice to meet you!

It was a real pleasure meeting you at the St. Pete meetup! Glad to see more new and enthusiastic people joining the project, and then to see them as something other than words on a screen. Nice work so far on the oldies articles! You might also be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Music and some of the discussion there. If you have any questions, just ask— also, User:TUF-KAT is a good person to meet if you ever have trouble or just want to say hello; he's done a few boatloads of music articles and came up with most of the standards. :-) Happy editing, Mindspillage (spill yours?) 21:18, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
