It was fun to check out all the pictures of everyone.

It looks like it was a great show.

I was just listening to Jamie Kowalski's last music post and was a little worried about what happened to him but I see he is still alive and well. :)

Nice pictures, Gary! It's great to see all the other forum members I missed out there.

Still alive for now, but the last bit of the Cornell Boxes is slowly doing me in, so no promises!

playing anything without pedals... lol!

Thanks for the great pix, Gary -- I enjoy
connecting faces with so many familiar
names.

P.S. You need to put those ultra cool shirts up for sale on your website! I'd buy two right off the bat! :)

Gary,

Just to let you know how close I got.

My wife just had her gallbladder removed, so the entire week was spent playing "Rick Schneblin, male nurse". When Friday rolled around, I was actually able to go to work for a spell, and decided to take a half day and get to the NAMM show. When I got there, all lots were full, there was NO place to park. I decided to park in Disneyland, seeing I had an annual pass. However, there was no shuttle service and it was too far to walk with my bad legs. Sigh...

Next year, I hope to make it without a surgery on the docket.

"Resistance is futile; you will be euphoniated?" !

Well, I must get to one of these, wearing prominently a big sign saying:

"Not a booth babe." :D

[germancomponist]

In the Listeningroom, where I have posted a new march, someone asked me about the tubaplayer... .

Ok, I tell you the secret.:) Here is the tubaplayer: :D :D :D
