I agree.

HNN helped maintain or amplify the links between people who met at HN shows. It also made people connect. Without HNN, I wouldn't have met Arne (IRL) or Cas (just online, but we exchange a lot of email and exchanged a lot). I'd probably had lost the link with JC after we met at a HN show, without this website.

Hi girls and guys,

As HNN will be closed in quite a short time now, I've opened a HNN members Facebook group, so that we can go on talking and exchanging about Heather Nova and ourselves.

Here it is :

HNN members Facebook group

I guess it won't be very lively, just as HNN as been for some time, but some members asked questions, posted pics or videos, or announced wich show they would attend from the little may tour... feel free to join us !

@57Arietis :
If you wat to have them all, I'll send it all to you, even the new ones I never took time to upload here. If you haven't got Facebook to join me once HNN is down, don't forget to copy my e-mail address (there used to be an old one in my profile, but I updated it some days ago).

Should we ?

Has someone told Heather that her fan website is closing ?

Well, the good thing about HNN's shutdown is my kids won't ever discover an read the "questions to Estellem" thread.

Oh, i got it.

Just go to JC's questions to.
It all started with question #16 started.

I asked the question, but i think I copied JC, who had asked it previously on my thread.

I have to print JC's questions to and put it somewhere safe before I'm dying, just to make a joke to archeologist that will dig here in centuries, long before the world as we know it has fall apart, and they don't find very much about 21th century about it, and will tell themselves "Hell, but WTF ?" ?".

I think there was more. , but I can't remember. Maybe someone here does...

Silly question, but true question (and who doesn't love silly questions ?) :

Wandering on various topics of HNN to enjoy it before it disappears,and falling on a sentence very casual like "your package should arrive by train", I had a sudden reminiscence : I suddenly remembered that "train" was a very funny word for us (and for a while !), a kind of running gag popping on numerous jokes when we made fun of each other, but I really, really can't remember why and was the original joke (or story ?) behind it at first.

You did well. Thanks.

Gerd, when you have decided the moment when HNN stops, will you tell us ? I'll tell people on the FB group.

I saved Cass's lyrics, the Butterflies topics, concerts list, my questions to topic, and some topics on Many Rivers to Cross, amongst those where we all discuss warmly and make silly jokes.
And the tournament's results.

It works, indeed.
It doesn't look exactly the same, but it kinda looks like the website, approximately.

I'll have one or too screenshots, just to remember.

The more I downloaded stuff, the more I reminded how great this website is. It's so complete and perfect, and the members were so cool and found exactly the tight mix between niceness (I'm to lazy to check if this word exists, and this post will have disappeared as all the rest in a very few days anyway) and humor. We made fun of each other, but always in a way that wouldn't hurt. It's been so precious (it's been such a preeeecious thing).

You mean, with just a righ-click and a "save page as" choice, the page is downloaded in my computer ?

I didn't know that it was possible to save pages.
I mean, I thought it just saves a link, I didn't know it would work for closed websites.

I understand. Not a big fan either, but I had to, since I'm making music. I registerd in 2019 or 2020. :D

Still, you don't need to be on Facebook to see FB pages or walls. Maybe you can see FB groups as well.

I wrote Bertrand.

I wrote Didier, JC, Arne and Wojciech.
Thanks for writing Cass.

Thank you Bernd ! It will remind us of the HNN musicians crew !

Maybe the linktree is a good option ? It leads you wherever you want.

I'll write Arne and JC tonight.
I wonder if I still have Didier's address.
I think I can reach Wojtech on Facebook.

I understand your decision Gerd, and respect it, and thank you for running this website all of these years.

Yet it's sad and weird to see this huge website disappearing, and ot's forum. There's so many years of my life inside, it means so much to me, in terms of people I met, the fun we had, etc.

... and HNN holds the one and only topic about me as an artist !

Gerd, do you know exactly when the moment when HNN is down ?

... just for me to know when I need to have downloaded everything I plan to do, or reread some topics.

There could be a Facebook group. I think I could manage it.
JC is on Facebook, not often but he is. Arne as well. But I doubt you are.

It's sad, but if course, I understand.

Thanks for letting us a couple of days. I will let us download some pics or other stuff before everything is lost.

I'll remember song tournaments, Cass's lyrics, the Questions to topic, and, maybe most of all, the Butterflies topic, which was so wtf.

Interesting !

Thank you ! This is not a song Heather plays often, so it'as always nice to see a video of it.

5 shows in a row, 7 shows in a row, even 10 in a row, what an amazing rhythm !

Thanks ! I remember being amazed by Burning to love, though I'm not that fond of the album version.

Thank you !

I have the same CD as you, and haven't got the vinyl.

Happy birthday to you, Arne ! I hope you'll enjoy your day with your family. Will you get as much drawings by kids as me ?

I'm sorry, I only bought the 2 shows I attended, in France.

Ahah, thank you !

It was wonderful to back heather on London Rain. Well, it's my birthday, so the perfect day to make a wish ; I'd dream to open for Heather someday !

Interesting. Not that far from home. I'll have a look at whether is it school holidays for me, or not.

Happy birthday, Matthew !

I hope you'll have a great time today !

300 Days is probably the HN album that I have listened to less as any other. I like a few songs on it, love Do Something That Scares you, though, but too many songs on the album never, or never really reached me.

Fast Car is a great track, so I guess heather's cover was wonderful.
