holding keys down (Re: [sdiy] new tune)

[Gene Stopp]

I don't actually know where that organ is now!

hmmmm quick chronology...

1989 my jam buddies started a company called Lone Wolf
I joined them as hardware engineer
Met lots of interesting biz people
Will Alexander was one of them
We started talking, I blabbed about my homebuilt modulars
He said he was looking for somebody like me
Helped him rebuild Keith's Moog in '91-'92
Got asked to go on tour to help in '92
I agreed
Did that for a few weeks, went home back to normal life
Got a call some months later, Will needed a new L-100
I looked and looked, couldn't find one
Will said to me "hey don't you have one?"
I reluctantly said "yes"
Shipping company came and got it
Never saw it again
Got married, had kids, no more life on the road
Still talk to Will once in a while

And here I am at work. Still have the "All Areas Access" badge hanging in my
cubicle, with the tour bus key attached.
