Changes in Attitudes n Avatars

Post by Goodman »

In a continuing tribute to Steve Goodman, the new avatar is from the cover of "No Big Surprise", a 40 song anthology that was my real introduction to Steve. The picture was shot in the Netherlands and is a companion to Steve's cover of Michael Smith's "The Dutchman". This tune has also been covered by Jerry Jeff Walker,but Steve's version is superior. I recommend it to the more serious of you- it ain't a get drunk song; the theme more in the vein of Jimmy's tribute to his dying dad-False Echoes- Banana Wind.The 20th anniversary of Steve's death is on September 20

Goodman...

You may want to shrink that a bit for folks who only have 800 pixel wide displays... the wideness of it doesn't give them much room for the actual text of the boards...

:lol:

Otherwise, very cool.

Not to sound rude or anything, but this thread... http://www.buffettnews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26360

...has been here for quite awhile and has been sticky. Don't get me wrong, I love the pic, it just really smashes the text into the right side of the board.

Please shrink and/or crop it. Thanks.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! whoever said bigger is better never visited these shores. :-)

Safe to say I'll be looking for a new avatar shortly.

You know where the original avatar would fit nicely?

In your sig line on the bottom... then you can have it the full width and no one will care.
