The JustinGuitar Team is proud to honor the contribution of Rogier, username roger_holland, to our Community. Rogierās musical story is like so many members - with a twist. In his youth, Rogier played with the usual doubts. A hiatus followed, and then a life-changing illness. He overcame health challenges, discovered JustinGuitar, and has been rocking this joint since rolling into the Community.
His passion for music drives his learning and participation in the Community. We are all the better for the music and life stories he shares, the encouragement and support he offers, all with a delightful wit and charm. His perseverance, patience, and positivity are inspirational. Rogier truly is a stellar member of the Community: keep shining your light, sharing your music, insights, and life with us.
I wasnāt so clear today, yesterday celebrated my girlās birthday together (but today is her birthday) ā¦and I just went to the site and am overwhelmed by this enormous honor and attentionā¦that is quite difficult to comprehendā¦now letās also place a copy of my story in the āwrongā place
Well Well dear people of the Justin team and certainly also (even more,you are the heart of this company) fellow community members here ā¦ This is a very great honor and I donāt really know how to deal with this, luckily most of you are already won the prize once, because there are those who deserve much more with your endless patience and time and endless help and explain to the new and somewhat older (not so New) members ā¦ with the red on the cheeks Iām going to sink this in for a momentā¦and Oooo how exciting to talk to someone ā¦that youāve seen in more than 1500 films,ā¦I dare say I know quite a bit, admire them quite a bit for how he shapes his life, and he only just found out about your existenceā¦ crazyā¦
Greetings ,Rogier
And I see @DavidP moved my first post (I was just about to delete it)ā¦can you delete the post you moved?..Edit:Iām going to try that myself
Good on ya Roger! Very well deserved mate. A fine player and a gentleman, always willing to pass on your knowledge and experience. Also a dry and wicked wit that is appreciated by many.
One favour though. Can you bring back a few insider tips from Justin. I for one always need a few
Congratulations!! Very well deserved. Iāll echo Tobyās words āyou have kept us entertained with your music and forum contributionsā and add to that a phrase I learned on here from you ābis bis bis (we want more)ā.
@roger_holland take note Rogier As the saying goes āNo such thing as a free lunchā. The price of this ālunchā is to share some reflections with us afterwards. Of course that is not obligatory or compulsory, just something other members have always enjoyed and benefited from.
@Richard_close2u
Richard, thanks to @brianlarsen and a DM from @Socio I have been corrected in my (now deleted) observation that historical feedbackās had not been migrated.
That said, what threw me off was not seeing a Topic for each memberās feedback. I expected that pattern, much like we have for the Introduce Yourself sub-category which was a single Topic on the Forum that each now joiner replied to. Iād like to edit the existing topic and create a topic per member; OK?
This side chat is now a digression from the celebration of Rogierās award (apologies @roger_holland) and I will tidy up once you have responded.
As wrote before migration of the post Rogier congrats on the award, I am sure you will take lots from your 1 hour session and as for Community goes - just keep doing what you are doing!
I went through this a while ago, and I especially remember the story of @brianlarsen with willy wonka & Lieven and Richard ( the Oempa Loempaās )ā¦
Iām still super busy here today and a bit tomorrow, but then Iāll dive right in it againā¦Tips are welcome ,so thanks David, and donāt worry about keeping it on topic, I donāt upset easilyā¦ ā¦at least until now because I do feel some tension
