Hello All, It was great to meet the fellow MOTMers and everyone else at the "middle-of-absolutely-nowhere" AHMW get toghether (ok it HAD to be somewhere if we were all there). Guess I was right when I envisioned Larry selling Beanie Babies, Amish paraphenalia, and MOTM accessories outta his roadside, car trunk! (oh yeah, and 4.991 ohm 1% resistors...) Laughs... Thanks for the cables and things Larry- I think they'll also work nicely (the cables) on next years Christmas tree - they're so vibrant! Now I'm just alittle (alot) more jacked to get what I have so far into a freakin cabinet and all patched up... I did sorta flashback to earlier days-when Guitar Center HAD analog synths and the sounds of the place, while walking around, would inspire visions of Tomita on aeroplane glue when everybodies sequencer was doing a very different sequence, nothing was really in tune, lotsa noise blerps and qwuarks, and somehow, I remember the late 60s and 70s as being so completely motivating and wonderfully creative. been along time since then - but NOT in Lagrange Indiana last Sat.. I think next year we should get ZZ Top to show up... It was cool, when something would sorta just pop out and be like a performance...we need more of that! Hey - anyhow - it was a pleasure to be there and maybe, perhaps next year, some may put their heads together and figure out how we could get more MUSIC out of the whole thing...might be a good move and appreciated by the obviously 'sainthooded' wives and family members who were there for the whole day wondering just what is Daddy doing this for??? I mean this all in the best of spirits - I think I mentioned to Mike (Wiard) that my wife would very easily rather burn in hell than attend that day...a little organized music however might make it worthwhile, especially to those who may find themselves still explaining their utter fascination with all these knobs, lights, and patchcords...to their loved ones. Just an idea... "sue me if I play too long..." Rog
