Welcome to the board ron3603!  I noticed that you have already posted one of my favourite Ray Davies tunes from his album "Other People's Lives" - All She Wrote!  Keep them coming! Glad to have you here!  |

Tell us something about yourself, Ron! I see that you have posted a lot of videos -- we'd love to know a little more about who you are as a person. Have you ever seen the Kinks? What are your favorite songs/albums? And tell us, what does your username mean? What's the significance of 3603? Inquiring minds would like to know! |

Thanks to all for the wellcome .I'm from Belgium .My username ,the 3603 is just taken from the first Dave davies LP . I'm 57 now ,i'm a Kinks fan from the 60's -It started for me with "Sunny Afternoon" My first Kinks LP is "Live at the Kelvin Hall " 1967 ,i always enjoy this album .I did 19 Kinks concerts in Europe ,the first in '76 the last concert in '95 Brussels .From Ray i did 12 concerts ,from '95 on to the "Come Dancing" musical in Stratford UK . And 1 concert of Dave Davies in Belgium 2002 .
The best Kinks concerts that i've seen is at Shepherd's Bush Empire /London in '94 and at the Royal Albert Hall in London 11 july'93 .
I've been 3 times backstage after Kinks concerts ,1 in Affligem Belgium ,then Turnbridge Well's UK and 1 time in Hannover .
My Kinks collection ,+/- posters every size ,the biggest are 2 door posters .Included many promo posters .The Lp collection 81 , the 7" +/- 100 , the 12" +/- 20 . And the cd's +/- 190 .And +/- 40 DVD's ,many books ,a lot of Live cassettes and many other memoriable .
The best Kinks lp's or songs . It's different from the time ,From the PYE/Reprise time ,then i choose "Lola vs Powerman" and " Percy" this 2 lp's have some great track's on it .The RCA period " Muswell hill." "Preservation act 1" and "Schoolboys in d." And for the Arista period then i choose for "Misfits" "One for the road" .And after that "Think Visual" and " Phobia" .
I try to go to the"Come dancing" musical again in Stratford in june ,but i'm not sure i can do with my work .I work in transport ,and that's everyday different times to start and stop .
All by all The Kinks are a big part of my daily life ,and i think it's for many diehard Kinks fans the same .
When it's possible then i go to the Kinks Konvention in London in november .
I like also "The Pretty Things" ,i see only 3 concerts of them .They always play the Rythm & Blues .
The Kinks are the most important for me .

Thanks for introducing yourself, Ron. You must have traveled a lot to see so many concerts! And you're quite a collector -- I can't even imagine having 190 Kinks CDs!

Thanks for introducing yourself, Ron. You must have traveled a lot to see so many concerts! And you're quite a collector -- I can't even imagine having 190 Kinks CDs! My collection is from more then 40 years ,everytime something new come out then buy or order online .The last item what i add to my Kollection is the "Photobook live 2011"ordered at the ray Davies website . And for the concerts ,sometimes when The Kinks made a tour before in the UK then i follow for 2 to 4 concerts .It's a lot travelling ,but i enjoy it very much . |

Ron, are you good friends with martin? You seem to have similar tastes, and are close, somewhat, in location.

Hmm, I asked Martin if he was Alfred on the Ray forum one time ! I see Ron knows who Martin is there though! Maybe he could fill us in! |
