Them were the days. Philly guitar show was massive back then. rct

Get smarter friends. rct

We are good thank You very much, and we hope the same right back. No, Florida off the table. Took us almost three years to do it, but in the end we had to. Too much keeping us here. Not where we are now here, but up by Philly here, so still looking, but at a much better pace. rct

Well Holy Crap. It is good to see You. rct

WD Music will make you one. They have never failed me for pickguards in a very long time. rct

He's a giant. rct

Quite possibly because they can't get anyone else, which is definitely a bad thing. rct

It is good that he is using Strats again. I hope they were good. Doug ain't getting any younger. rct

You guys should put on your bathrobes and go out front and yell this stuff at the sky. rct

It is a good one so far. We just started it. Foundation is really good, it's on Apple as well. rct

The internet was becoming more and more a thing. There were "modders", guys you sent your pedals to and they tweaked them and sent them back, you now had a Fuller modded blah blah blah. There were a few boutique amp makers getting known because of the internet like Roccaforte and Mark Sampson. Klon was just another boutique pedal that gained a cult. They were 800, a thousand maybe, back then. Stupid money for a pedal that most of us thought didn't really do anything. It's funny about all that money to step on it. I remember many nights at a bar called JD's in Smithville NJ. A guy we knew in a great band used a Charvel/Jackson guitar into an old Traynor. Up on a table he had two(2) Klons. He operated them by hand. He also changed the batteries in both every set. Every night out he did this. Crazy. rct

Well that's different. I only did it one time, I put a cd player in one of our Crown Vics, the 2001. Truly, it sucked. I should have never done it myself but there it is. In those days anyone would put them in, not like today. I wouldn't even know where to go to do that. Good luck with it. And don't worry about your music. You know enough to get the mixes pretty dang good without the cd player. rct

Dude. Try to focus. You don't have the market cornered on getting music out to a mastering house. You aren't the only guy in your town probably that is checking mixes on various systems/speaker types. I've got six pairs of monitors and two subs. I also use two junk stage monitors that the band doesn't use any longer, and yeah, they are good to listen to a mix through. That's all just in the room for me. I know all about this stuff, same as you. This all started because you are screaming at the sky about no cd players in cars. From you: phone, Spotify, iTunes, car CD Player, Computer, Turntable sound system. That's from you. CD IS 2.6% OF MUSIC SALES. You want to check mixes on a system you can't get, the car CD player. So you can't get one to check mixes on so you can make sure that EVERYONE ELSE THAT CAN'T GET ONE gets a good mix. Do I have that right? YOU DON'T NEED A FRIGGIN CD PLAYER TO PLAY MUSIC ON CAR STEREO SPEAKERS. Period. That's the thread. Holy crap. Do you put your band videos on High Def Beta Max and watch them on the Quasar black & white 13"? rct

Old school Rancilio Rocky grinder and Rancilio Sylvia single pull 'spresso maker. 20 plus years of 6, 8 drinks a week, still going. rct

The people buying your music don't care what DAW you used, how many hertz you recorded it at, nor how you monitored the playback for mixing purposes. They don't know mp3 from wav from 45rpm. It sounds good or it doesn't, they like it or they don't. They have a vast universe of music to buy that didn't require a pickup truck CD player to get mixed well. rct

Advertised sales. They have minimum advertised prices. rct

Do you think that CDs accounting for only 2.6% of music sales may have something to do with it? Maybe? If you sell a million records and only 26,000 are CDs, are you going to much care about how those 26,000 people play them? rct

Klon. lolz. rct

That was from their first record Out Of The Silent Planet, a really good one followed by Gretchen Goes To Nebraska. Fantastic band, two superb records in a row. Those last couple summers of the 80's we were just back from Bermuda and living in OCNJ and dinner on the hibachi every night with these two records on the hi-fi. Good effing times. rct

Mods must be vacationing in Cancun with that Cruze wee todd. rct

Sing Goldilox loud. Still the first thing I play when I pick up a guitar. rct

Politics and Bill Cosby. It's a moderators dream! rct

lolz. I don't much like it up there, but it is part of the state so we do what we have to do up there when we have to do it. When he is there the crowd in that place can be heard on the moon. rct

1973 bro. 1973. It is ours, we own that. When he does this up at the Meadowlands you can hear it all the way down here at AC. There is no other song for this day, here. rct
