Wiardgroup

I believe Bode has been dormant on Topica for some time, as is a Moog 
modular list. 

"I hope you're not wasting your time"

Hey, that's the same thing someone said to me nearly 30 years ago when 
I started building PAIA kits with my dad. ;-) But, the reality is, it 
wouldn't be the first time (me wasting time, that is).

Actually, it takes about 5 minutes to make a group and the first draft 
of the description list was off the top of head, I have since edited 
it a bit. It was worth every minute of it to see my buddy nearly crap 
a brick and hey, there are 19 members now!

Most of the groups on Yahoo are manufacturer specific and AH has kind 
of a low SNR for my interests and too much traffic for me to keep up 
with (don't get me wrong, it's an incredible resource, I've spent a 
lot of time in the AH archives -  thanks, Mark).

One of the things I like about low traffic lists is how they kind of 
come and go, and develop a personality of their own. I belong to some 
here on Yayhoo, just to check on them from time to time, like that 
French vintage keys list. I don't even speak French, but they do have 
some cool pictures (especially that one with naked girl and the 
Hammond!







- just kidding!).

Anyway, you're probably right - it probably won't work out. Maybe some 
more of you should come by and particpate a little bit before I have 
to pull the plug, like a party that you know is going to end before 
you want it to - sometimes that's the best kind.

Sort of on topic: I've never seen a Wiard in person, the funtional 
design and electronics seem top notch and the sound examples I've 
heard were very unique. But what about that Celic Tatoo thing? I have 
the same problem with the Technosaurus, I think I'd occasionally burst 
into laughter (or want to joust or ride a dinosaur or something). 
Would it even be possible to have them both in the same room? - kind 
of like stripes and plaid together. Anyway, I've never seen or heard 
either one in person. I often wonder what both would look like with 
plainish MOTMesque panels.
