Still reading?! I love the Rx website! It's got me
nostalgic for the old days! I will contribute some
sea stories. You play guitar. Are you into analog
delay equipment? I fix Echoplexes and Roland Space
Echos. This is not a great way to earn a living. My
Hope to write more soon. It would be a thrill to
hear from you. Although we weren't in the same
workcenter, I hope you remember me. When I saw that
tiny picture of you in the yellow shirt I recognized
you immediately! Stay in touch!
