Boy, I don't know how anyone got THAT impression. I know Hautewerk's material fine but beyond that I'm fairly lost!

I heard you play at SoCalCon, John; you passed the audition all right

Nice digs John and thanks for the humidity update. I'm glad it wasn't a real issue. As a player it's always nice to get better to your own ears (and hopefully other's ears as well) but hey as long as you have fun .... play on!!!! And with your new studio that should be easy.

John,

Several well known bass players who are amazing musicians themselves, have confided in me that you are an excellent bass player. Now we can add modesty to the list of your achievements.

Nice studio, John.

Man, recording and staring at the ocean.
Two of my favorite pastimes.

Rickenbacker Records. Has a nice ring.

Ocean? You mean there's an ocean out there?

Actually, there are a few people here on the board who can tell you about the evening dolphin show . . .

If vinyl record sales were to suddenly increase worldwide, I would lobby for LP reissues of the Hautewerk and my own catalog under that very imrpint ("Rickenbacker Records - A Division of RIC Media").

By contrast to FBTS, here's a shot of my home studio:

Kenny,

I have a can of Lemon Scented Pledge I could loan you.

Doesn't get much use, eh?

John - what records are those framed up on the wall?

Here's what my studio looked like today:


and I, too, can see the water when I play.
No dolfins or streakers, but there are three seals who come around, and an occasional manta.

Ooh, a dulcimer! A girl after my own heart!

Well now, I don't feel so bad. Sorta looks like what passes for my studio-in-the-making; a corner of my basement.

You know that expression "I haven't got a pot to **** in?" Well, I have one.

I actually don't have a studio, y'all...I pulled that picture off the interweb back in the '90s.
