Official Luthiers Forum!

Greeting folks

Brock and I are working on getting the new forum platform launched. As you know, we have found a company that will help us transfer the overall look and feel of our current board as well as preserve all the discussions, archives, and member database.

We think that everyone will be very excited about the new environment. You will once again have an edit button, the system should run much faster than our current software, there are lots of other new features. We are very impressed with our testing thus far.

However… Due to the fact that passwords are encrypted we cannot transfer these over into the new database. When the site launches we will SEND EVERYONE AN EMAIL with a new password and ask you to follow the link in the mail and establish a new password.

We would have preferred to port the passwords as well, but that wasn’t in the cards. This is the best solution we can come up with..

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP

Please go into your profile and update your REAL NAME, and make sure a good email address is on file for you. Otherwise you won’t get the email from us when the new platform launches.

This is important, and it will only take a few minutes.

IF you do not do this, you will have the option to have your password emailed to you through the "lost password" function in the new software, BUT that is only if you have a "good" email address on file.

We appreciate your continued support.

In the words of Buzz Lightyear "To Infinity and BEYOND!"

EDIT! You can access your profile and update your email address by clicking the "settings" button above"

[QUOTE=Hesh1956] Alfonso Bedoya (April 16, 1904 - December 15, 1957) was a Mexican actor.

Born in Sonora, Bedoya had, allegedly, a nomadic childhood upbringing that included an education in Houston, Texas. He found work, mainly as a character actor in the US film industry in the 1930s and the Mexican film industry in the 1940s.

He is best remembered for significant contributions to John Huston's The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (film) (1948) as "Gold Hat", the bandit leader who declares his lack of need to show "stinking badges".[/QUOTE]

That's TOO GOOD of an answer. I should have said "no using Google" etc., must be "first hand" knowledge.
But a deal is a deal...send me your address and the bag of floor sweepings is yours!

Now, what radio personality made Alfonso's famous quote from Treasure of the Sierra Madre his "mantra" on all his radio shows. No Google, etc look ups. You gotta have heard it on the radio! (That'll take care of the young bucks! )

[QUOTE=Hesh1956] With his last name I would guess Howard Stern? [/QUOTE]

No. This guy predated Stern by decades...and was a CLASS act by any measure of comparison.

Hint: He was famous on both West and East coast radio.

sorry....I'll shut up now...... [/QUOTE]

Nope. Again, way before Rush's time in the spotlight.

Lots of people used that phrase over the years in both radio and tv but since you probably heard heard it in the SF bay area I'm guessing on KSFO but I can't tell you the name of the personality.
