Truman, Tom, and Moker...

Yep!

That's a good point, Tom, about not being tired and putting on a good show.
I've been a showbiz whore my whole life..I love making the crowd happy..I ain't ashamed....

I remember my stomp box phase..I musta' had a dozen of those suckers...
This line 6 has a couple of usable amp models that have some crunch..the sound is a bit thin, so I may go for one of those tube pre's in the future...we'll see....

I don't know if they still make your flextone, Truman...the kid at sam ash just looked confused when I brought it up...

Thr KLezmer band that I work with loves the new amp..it doesn't have the thump of the fenders...but...you don't need much thump when you're playing 1920's acoustic music.
The amplified mandolin sounds nice and crisp, too.

By the way..if you google maxwell street klezmer band you can find us and even watch a video of me...now THERE'S time well spent!

Life is good..my wife is getting me a new computer in the next couple of weeks...
I got a nice gig in Madison Wisconsin saturday night and they upgraded my room to a junior suite...junior suite?...didn't he play bass with count basie for a while?..I'll have to look that up....

G'nite kids....and thanks again for all the help....
And Jerry....boil those socks and make soup....
