Another newbie


Hi all, it's cool to see a new site in the making.  I'm a retired/stay at home dad and I've been gaming for about 10 years.  Although like Gable my first video game was really Pong. (On a black and white tv.) lol  I look forward to getting to know everyone.  I wish you the best with the new site and may it grow and prosper.

I thought Margy was angelic, but I may have to rethink that after reading her signature..

Sorry to hijack your intro post Rob.. You do know that 10 years ago they had many more games then Pong, right? And color tv.. And *gasp* remote controls...

Keys For Kids


Okay, so Rob is going to kill me....but since he has control of the Smite Button...I guess we will see how long this post lasts here....A few of you may have heard talk about this, but as Rob is very quiet, and he isn't the self promoter that I am... I thought I would post this here.  

I  just wanted to add that I have had the pleasure of hearing Rob perform.  He's truly talented and I'm so proud to call him a friend and know that he does great work for seriously ill children and their families.  Our HH Mods rock!!

Clio pianist looks to raise money for families of sick children

by Sarah Schuch | The Clio Messenger

Thursday June 11, 2009, 7:30 AM

VIENNA TOWNSHIP, MIchigan -- The sound of classical musical can fill a room, calm a soul and maybe help fill an empty wallet thanks to Rob McLeod of Vienna Township.

A few years ago, McLeod's daughter had rheumatic fever and the bills and the hospital visits were tough on the family.

Seeing the other children in the hospital and their families, McLeod decided to use his musical talents to make things a little easier for them.

McLeod, a pianist of 45 years, started the Keys for Kids program to raise money for children in need. He will play benefit concerts with 100 percent of the proceeds going to families to help pay for medical expenses.

McLeod's daughter has since recovered but he still remembers those days with her in the hospital.

"One of the most difficult things was that there was nothing we could do (for my daughter). We felt helpless," McLeod said. "This gives (the families) an opportunity to get involved and feel like they are contributing to things."

The concerts would last about an hour and a half, and the families would be in charge of promoting it and finding a place to play, McLeod said.

Kerry Thompson, 48, of Vienna Township thinks Keys for Kids is a great idea.

"It helps the kids and the family," she said. "Especially nowadays, people need help."
Thompson said she would definitely support an event like this. She recently found out her sister was terminally ill, so she can relate, she said.

Gregg Bryan of Mt. Morris will help McLeod with the business aspect of the program and is helping him get the information out there.

"Rob is a tremendously experienced pianist, as well as being a good keyboard player," Bryan said.
The program is set up to help the families of the Clio area, Bryan said.

"You get the opportunity to get terrific entertainment but have the opportunity to help an ill child," Bryan said.

Wow, Rob! Good work! I hope your daughter is OK, and congratulations on your efforts!

chocolate wrappers with no chocolates*

The stuff around my lips isn't chocolate, but...um...brown chapstick! *sweats copiously*

ljot, if only more people were more like you, we would not have so many troubles in this world. Maybe one day you could put a sound or video clip of you playing up here so we can see what you do.
