Classic Rockers Network

Classic Rock Fan Community: Led Zep, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Doors & More

Well, as you can all see my name is Gerrit Louwsma, 38 years of age and I live in The Netherlands. Classic rock is just a part of my life, I have always been more a rocker than a dancer. However, recently I got interested in obscure 1960s R&B (in the UK they know this thing as 'Northern Soul'), but still I need my slice of guitar solos and beating rhythms. I am most of all an avid record collector. Nowadays the 'Northern Soul'-enthusiasm swallows that hobby, but I have already built an archive of some 12,000 45s and about 7,000 LPs. No need to say that there is a lot of classic rock amongst them.

The first classic rock song that grabbed me, was 'Nights In White Satin' by The Moody Blues. I heard it in 1986 when I was eleven years old and it really started my record collection. That was a fine time as many people just bought their first cd-player and threw out their precious records. I collected most by The Moodies and I play it once or twice a year, currently I hold The Who as my favourite 'old' Classic Rock band. Recent favourites are Wolfmother, Queens Of The Stone Age and Dungen.

I have just entered this place, but have been on forums for years. I'm hoping to meet good company and people who respect each others, something I've been missing at some other forums.

You'll definitely find good people here, who treat each other well and engage in spirited but respectful debate.  As a teenager, when I joined I figured it might be strange or that I might get some negative vibes from everyone, but the people have just been lovely.
