    Well I'm a well washed musician who loves Steve Winwood & hasn't got a clue about music technology!

    I have a Roland VS2000 & Fantom X8 synth, Fender Jazz bass & SWR gear ~ I'm not sure if you're the right person to box my ears but I could really use someone!!

    Thanks for your friendship ~

    Hi Andy,

    Thanks for being a great teacher for me back in the 80's, when I was an authorized dealer for the PPG 2.3.

    I lent out your instructional vid to someone, and never got it back!

    I still have my 2.3, and think it's still the most unique sounding synth of all time.


    Thanks for your comments and friendship...:)

    Hey, Andy.
    Good to hear from you, my friend.

    How goes things?

    Hammer are currently looking for more gigs for 2009, after landing some pretty damn good ones so far, both far and near ... so I think that we might need one in your neck of the woods, sometime too! ;)


    All the best and much respect.

    Greetings my friend from the San Francisco Bay Area!

    Rumor on the street has it that there are talks of another PPG summit. Please keep me posted. I'm looking for an excuse to come out for a visit!

    All the best!

    Hello Andy, so good to hear from you. I have been staying quite busy working with a Grateful Dead tribute band here in the central
    USA called The Schwag (see my VIDEO section). They have been working this summer with various members of The String Cheese Incident so it has been great!
    I have been putting Arkaos through it's paces and coming up with amazing effect combos.
    Hope all is well with you. Let me know what you are up to.
    Take Care,
    John

    Hey, Andy ... Thanks for all your help regarding combustion effects and the prettiness of flames around wickermen ;)

    It's much appreciated ... and we'll be sure to continually pick your brain over the same subject if and when Hammer start work on our often-talked-about-but-always-procrastinated-over promo video :)

    All the best.

    Hi Andy, thanks for finding and adding me. It looks like we share a common obsession with Arkaos and VJing in general. I'd love to compare notes sometime.

    Hi Andy, all is well, hope you are well too. Fiz is getting a fair bit of use for ambient/drone sounds with weird modulation :-)
