Everyone who has ever helped me along the way with this awwwwwwwwwsome life that I have! Given me a job guitar teching or a broken guitar to work on. Turned your friends onto my luthiery skills. Bought me a shot and slapped me a high five and meant it! Cheers to you! Thank-x for being a friend!
Who I'd like to meet: Guitar players and supplyers for the materials and products that I use to build and repair guitars. Cool music loving people that share in the logical thinking that music is the true meaning of life.

Cool you made a bass for Jason! J, Matt and Wolinski are long time frinds of mine since jr high.
We go way back. I was able to visit J in the hospital when I was home this summer right after his accident..I was bummed I did not get the usual live performance from J and Matt. Jason was able to catch me up on his current achievments and am proud of them.
jammed with Wolinski, Jim, and Matt a couple times and that felt good to jam with some old friends. jim and Wolinski were in my first band that started in Wolinsli's house when I was 19 and they were seniors...LOL! I am also stoked for Wolinski's recent success!
it is cool to see the pipe line of talent from N Michigan, getting out and doing things! Only way to make things happen any where is to get out and travel and ahre the gift of music!
By the way, did you say you know a bass player out here in the denver area? I got a couple new projects rolling etc.
I will have to get a custome from you someday, Like a 30" Baritone that can handle low G and have sonic bite!
