What might have been ...

I owe everyone a long past-due update. Long story short, I injured my right hand in early April right around the time we set out to test the final boards before sending the Gerber files for estimates. Actually got parts ordered and delivered but I was way too optimistic with the recovery schedule of my hand and I am finally to the point I think I can handle a soldering iron. I am back in touch with Kerry to sort out a few things needed for testing. Apologize for the lack of communication for weeks. Hopefully we will be back on track with the GB soon!

I kind of dig this treatment. I didn’t realize how recognizable his music is with just a couple key notes.

Happy belated birthday! (party favour noise)

For consistency's sake I restricted Al's least favorite camper from posting for four years. Seemed like the right thing to do.

My birthday

There have been fires and worse, master tapes thrown in landfills because they were taking up space that could make more money another way. I hang out on some archivist forums/mailing lists and I remember when the Universal fire happened. There were lots of questions about what was stored there and just a few hints about stuff like the Chess tapes. UMG did a great job of covering up the whole thing by starting rumors that the claims of priceless masters were folks trying to spin a big story out of a minor one. It wasn't until this NYT story was released that the true depth of the tragedy was beginning to be reveal to the general public. Thankfully, other labels haven't been so careless and take their stewardship seriously. A lot of these disasters have been allowed to happen because of the endless shuffling of record labels and copyrights ownership.
