2652.1The Grevemeister - Steve GreveSMURF::BENNETTSmile a little smile for meWed Dec 30 1992 15:2740
	Is alive and well in Maine. In response to the Holiday Card I
	sent I got a letter. Here are liberal quotes:


		"... I've got to tell you, if I'd known how scary it
	was going to be to be unemployed for so long, I would have
	stuck it out at the Augusta plant. Hoooooeeeee!

		"Here's an update on what's been going on. I'd appreciate
	it if you'd pass this along to the rest of the guitarnotes folks.

		"Gotta a gig... playing 50's and 60s, bass, name of the
	band is Cruiser. They work 2-3 weekends a month and get great
	pay (well for me anyway). Can't believe I got this gig. There were
	"real" bass players auditioning for it! We're playing at Sugarloaf
	Lodge on New Years Eve.

		"Gotta day gig working for a small company in South Portland,
	Maine. They have 4 offices in the state and they want me to network
	them. They'll be paying for me to get my CNE and I'm a happy guy.
	Tried to give DEC our business but so far can't get a salesman to
	answer my calls... sound familiar? Last week I told that I had
	friends being laid off because there wasn't enough revenue, and
	that the next call I made would be to Bob Palmer's office in Maynard,
	heh, heh...

		"Jay Tasjian is an "effin" GOD!! No shit I just finished
	stumbling through a recipe from him for hot-rodding a twin and the
	results were amazing - total headroom and great tone. Hey, I even
	used a scope, kind of technical, huh? [I hope he remembered to wet
	sand, too! - ccb] I did run into one little problem though. I wired
	four 25 WT wirewound resistors together to make what I thought would
	make a dandy dummy load and wound up getting them so hot that they
	actually emitted smoke! I was scared somewhat. See if any of the guys
	know where I could pick up a working dummy load. They'll have a
	hell of a lot of fun with that question and I might even get a
	straight answer."

2652.2Chuck RamseyHEDRON::DAVEBLife isWed Dec 30 1992 16:569
Chuck recently landed a job with some outfit in Waltham after a few months of
life without DEC. As far as I know he's not jammin' with anybody ut himself.
He's living in Townsend Mass and probably is in the phone book if anyone wants
to chat with him.

Chuck usually comes to all my band's gigs even though he has to drive 3-4 hours.
What a guy...

2652.3Randy BronsonGOES11::G_HOUSEBig cheese, MAKE me!Wed Dec 30 1992 17:238
    I got a Christmas card from Randy Bronson.  He didn't say much except
    that the Marshall cabs he bought from me were still working well (a
    pair of 4x10s that used to belong to Bill Buckley).  He also said his
    playing has improved as well.
    
    I'm gonna write him a letter back and see what's shakin.

Yeah, Randy also told me that his LesPaul that he got from me was alive and
well...And he's a pretty happy camper!

    On Monday's Marlboro/Hudson paper there was a picture of Peter
    Cook and his band! They made it big time!. It says Peter is working
    in some company in Cambridge(sp?)
    
2652.6The Bolz-Dave ParkerSALEM::STIGHe died for you n' meWed Dec 30 1992 20:584
    Dave Parker (The Bolz) just came out with a 4 song tape finally. He's
    gigging regulary and 2 of the songs on the tape are getting airplay on
    WBCN Sunday nights between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm. They play the local
    bands at this time. So keep listening...
2652.7RE:-1 ?PATE::PLOURDEBelieve it will happen!Thu Dec 31 1992 14:349
	RE:-1   No offense, I noticed your personal name is "He died
	        for you 'n' me".  Is He who I think He is! I have often 
	    	wondered if there were any Christian Guitarists in this
		conference.  Do you play at any local coffee houses? 
		Do you any Christian songs?

		Richard

2652.8He's Him!!SALEM::STIGHe died for you n' meThu Dec 31 1992 15:1913
    He's who you think he is. JESUS!! There are a few of us in here. Mike
    Heiser, and Glen House to name a few. You probably have seen these
    names in the conference..I am a Christian guitarist. I did play with a
    band called "Innocent Fire" out of the Southern NH area. We broke up
    about a year ago. We did play at coffee houses all around the area.
    Also jails, roller skating rinks, festivals and a couple of clubs...I
    write music and have some songs recorded. Some of them are like 6 years
    old and some are a few years old..The style is a cross between HR and
    HM. I do have a couple of rock ballards with some acoustic guitar
    though. I am in the process of re-recording some older stuff from
    around 6 years ago. I do all my recordings in my friends studio which
    is nice. The both of co-write a lot of the music but I have some of my
    own also..

    No problem, Paul.  I'm fairly good natured.  Plus, I've had people
    calling me "Glenn" all my life 'cause that's my father's name.
    
    Greg

    Carlos Santana, in recent interviews, says that the highest plane of
    music for him is to make people laugh and cry at the same time.  I'm
    still trying to get the timing down, because I can only do one at a
    time!  :7)
    \Gary
2652.15He's from the eastern plane...SALEM::STIGHe died for you n' meSat Jan 02 1993 16:022
    That's funny..his music doesn't seem to make me laugh. Maybe smile.
    Cry ?? Maybe jealosy...

    "sakman" here. Just checkin in on you. I see that you folks have
    improved tremendously with staying on the topic ;^)
    
    No day gig yet but I got this one prospect that's got my name written
    all over it. But wilol the sumbitch get back to me? Nooooooo.
    Fercrissakes, I'm pissin my pants waitin for this guy to give me a
    call. You'd think I was applying to Digital or something.
    
    I've composed a couple of neat tunes in the time since I left DEC, but
    as always, I've yet to sit my ass dowm and work out some lyrics. Also
    trying to get a round tuit to record up somethin for the guitar noters
    tape.
    
    You folks take care and I'll be noting you!
