DAMN! But promise me that the next time you get an old black face Super
that's been hacked in to a small head you'll send it on to me.

I was blown away by all the people on the list who posted on that demography
thread (I remember when it was just Larry, Dave and me) -- I was gonna post
my faves and gear stuff, but I listen to so many different kinds of things,
and use so many different instruments the lists would be quite long and not
add much to what's already out there. I did enjoy seeing the breadth of what
MOTM users like and what they use.

Well, you probably know this, but when I first decided to build some stuff
(about 83) I wrote to the Aries address from the back of the Klein book, and
apparently they were already gone.
