Ive been here since 2 weeks after the original TDP started when Noam was the webmaster.

nasonm · April 24th, 2008, 09:09 PM

I've been "here" since "here" was the TDP. I signed up back in the Noam days. (I think it was 1998).

Buckocaster51 · April 24th, 2008, 09:21 PM

I hung around back in those days, but didn't really post or get to know anybody.

I played some bluegrass jobs with Noam back then. We never even talked about Telecasters. Haven't seen him in years, but do have a recent photo of him.

Hey Mark,how many people were members when you joined?

Telewilly · April 24th, 2008, 11:01 PM

I just got here. Nice to meet everyone. I think, like most newbies, have been reading threads here for quite a while but never signed up.

But I'm here now, if only I could think of something to write about....

markophonic · April 24th, 2008, 11:26 PM

I've been here since just before Paul took over...

Wow, It doesn't seem like all that long!

esteban · April 25th, 2008, 12:04 AM

I think I've been here for almost exactly one year!

I dont know the exact amount but 20-30 people was all there was a small core of Tele freaks.

...and I thought I was in the running!
Good to be here guys.

Mark Davis · April 25th, 2008, 05:37 AM

Mike Rice was here before I was also OF.

TeleHawg · April 25th, 2008, 11:11 AM

I started hanging out on the TDP before Noam took over. This would be around 1996 or 1997. Fuzzy, of course, was already there, as was Mike Rice.

GuitarJonz · April 25th, 2008, 11:52 AM

Long timer too, pre-Noam wasn't Ken Goldstein (or a similar name, sorry, brain fart) the guy who started it all? I remember back then, not only was there a TDP, but also a TAP (Telecaster Appreciation page). I looked on the internet archive, but can't find the snapshot of the old www.tdp.com anyone got it saved?

guitar-eric · April 25th, 2008, 12:01 PM

Seems like only yesterday but it has already been 5 yrs since I joined this motley crew ;) I guess that & a token [now a metrocard] will still get me on the proverbial subway as we used to say back in NY!

You long timers could give advice in the "tone woods" threads.

Some of you guys were members here before wood was even invented.

I'm petrified of the thought....

Yup sonny, back in them days we were usually forced to make our teles from old dinosaur bones we'd find down by the steaming primordial swamp. Good times!
