Aloha Ross, and welcome to the group.
I'd have to give a big "AMEN" to Tony's post, and David probably has
a good central location...but you are welcome to use my Phantom Lake
Studio here in Makakilo, on Oahu (about 30 minutes from Honolulu)...I
mean...no sane member of this group would refuse a visit from Mike
Pinder. (and ...yes...there are maybe at least a dozen "sane" members
to choose from). Good luck with an outstanding sounding
project...maybe consider doing at least a segment from the beautiful
land of Aloha.
Mahalo,
Lee and M400 #541 (the Aloha-tron)
