Mark,
 
You really would be welcome if you are out this way. If it will make you  
feel more at home, I'll break something.

Sounds like a plan. The response so far is very encouraging,  folks!

PS I'm great at brakes.

Thanks guys,  keep 'em coming. I'm taking all suggestions seriously.

There'll  be no responses for a day or so as I'm going to hide in the 
internet-free  studio for a while and record stuff.

See you all  soon!

Love and Scones,

msw.

PS check  out the tune on my Myspace page

Sasha Vallely and M400 no 151 on vibes and brass.

Mark,
 
If you want to come to the east coast (DC area), I'll gladly put you up.  
However, you'll have to carry my barbells up to the attic and put new front  
brake pads on my truck. We can also play with all my gear.

Hi Folks.

Here's an odd appeal for you all..  I'm  planning a trip to LA for a few 
weeks from late June. The main focus of this  is to do music and get about a 
bit.. I have a band to play with and am  looking forward to a really cool few 
weeks..

I was wondering if  any of you guys could use some occasional technical 
assistance from a guy  well-versed in electromechanical and analog keys. 

Yep,  I'm basically hustling for some 'unofficial' work to help make my 
dollars  last a little longer and make the partying and musicking easier to 
fund.  

I've been quietly trading for the last couple of years  repairing mostly 
vintage/classic gear and every penny I have comes from  this apart from very 
occasional gigs and sculptural metalwork. Here's a brief list of the sort of 
things I've  been happily paid to happily work on from the last year or  so:

Miscellaneous tonewheel Hammonds inc consoles and spinets.  There's very 
little that I haven't done with big Hammonds and I spent  most of a year 
working for HammondHire/big Hammonds and I spent  most of a year working for 
HammondHire/<WBR>Servicezon
Leslies  (tube and  transistorised) 
Vox Continentals  ( British and Italian, 1963  onwards) Jaguars
Farfisa Compacts
Loads of Rhodes
Wurlitzers 140B,  200,200A  (I've even been known to make reeds from 
scratch)
Hohner  Clavinets and Pianets
Selmer Claviolines
Misc. Moogs
ARP  Oddysseys/Omnis
SCI P5, Pro-Ones
WEM Copicats/Roland Space  Echoes
Misc. mixers from dinky to gigantic
Philicorda organs
Wierd  Russian analog synths
valve/tube amps
..and lots more

Oh,  and I'm not bad with Mellotrons and my near-neighbours JB and MS have 
taught  me lots more recently.

I usually do a nice job, I'm a musician  too so al l my keyboard jobs feel 
nice and responsive. Rhodes and Wurlies  especially. 


So, if you do this sort of thing and  have too much work on, or if you have 
a housefull of gear that you would  like me to wqrk on for cash (at 
mutually suitable rates, weighed in your  favour/favor) and can't find time to do 
yourself.. please get in touch and  ask any questions that you want. I'm 
intending to be around for up to three  months this time.

Similarly, I may need to buy/rent or borrow  some gear. A Farfisa Compact 
would be handy, an M400 would be great! I may  be bring a Vox Conti over with 
me, maybe only guitars.

Also, if  you have a room going, I could happily service your gear for my 
keep...  Initially I'm supposed to be staying with a friend in Echo Park, 
wherever  that may be.

There's plenty of time 'twixt now and then so  think about it and talk to 
me.

I'm a reasonably straight and  sober individual, apart from the odd 
Rock'n'Roll moment. But I'm always  gentlemanly!

I'm also a pretty good mechanic, especially with  British motorcycles.I

Love and Scones,

Mark  Wallis
