I live in my hometown of Wabash. Its east of Lafayette on Hiway 24. I stopped playing for 20 years as I worked 2nd and 3rd shift in Factories. I recently took early retirement from Chrysler at Kokomo. I sold the Acoustic 360 after Flint Broke up, then John Baker came got me to play with Ed Eastwood and Hank Westerman in Low Spark and Bandanna. I then got a Ampeg with a Backward baffle 15". It was the best I had to that time. I now have a rack setup with A ampeg SVT3 Pro and tuner, Wireless setup and SWR Goliath with 4-12s and A SWR 15 cabinet .Great sound but wish i'd stayed with Ampeg Speakers. I got smart like you and Bought a Fender Precision when I played with LS and Bandanna. Great instrument.

If I would have sold an album in the 80s, I remember most little labels and artists would be happy to sell their t…
PJ- I thought of that too! I could use a new Ping hat.
We aren't too far down the road of the NP thing to turn back. But John is right, if we can find a way to funnel money to artists then I'm all about having MFT make some of that transaction. It…
