Re: Jerry Korb and Ken Leonard:

 

The good Professor is in the final stages of restoring M400#872 (the DennyTron) that I delivered to him in April. I will see him alongwith the great Mr. Leonard at the Ranch in mid-August for a Moneypit sessionwhere my Mellotron will be unveiled. Jerry is well and very busy with manythings in his life and enjoying the summer!

can i substitute bourbon for both the beer and the scotch?
i don't generally keep beer in th house, and the only scotch i have
is 18 year old single mal - only for special occassions. but i always
have a large bottle of makers mark on hand. i put it on my cereal.
[the woodford reserve being a bit to pricey for me these days...]

this reminds me, i still need to make a 'special tool k' thingy.

which then ALSO reminds me...

it seems we have not heard anything from ken leonard or jerry korb
for quite some time. i hope they are well. they are both wonderful
guys and i have missed their presence. not that the rest of you
lot are any less wonderful, i don't know most of you as well or
have not met you personally [jimmy and gino being the exceptions].

anyone heard anything from them recently?

best to all,
jeff
