[sdiy] And the Soddy goes to...

[Ray Wilson]

I am truly surprised, thrilled and shocked all at the same time. Thanks to
all who voted for the Sound Lab project. I love Synth-DIY and the synth-diy
list it is always a source of excellent information, inspiration, and good
humor.

Thanks to John for coming up with the "Soddy" idea and website too.

Too bad none of you are in Denver or the drinks would be on me! Now its off
to the champagne!

Cheers to all

Ray
