Sorry no pics here or anywhere else online - I stupidly put them away in storage with the Chamberlin, parts, literature etc thinking I had a second set of them.  It turned out the second set was of the other Chamberlin I have (they look almost identical except the Vannelli machine is wider). I photographed both machines separately in the exact same spot - not one of my most creative moments!

Yes, Joe is very nice, I went to visit him in LA, (though the visit was spent mostly working at his computer)

Very Interesting Chris! I will be listening to the album today.
No surprise they made their own tapes as well!
Do you have pics posted here?
I met the two of them several years back. Joe is a nice guy. He was actually standing in the audience when I spoke with him. He had decided that the tour needed a more authentic Jazz pianist and they hired some other guy to do the tour.
Excellent musicians both Gino and Joe.
