Darn - Sad to hear you're leaving Steve, but glad to hear you
completed your degree and have some lines on a new job. Best of luck to
you, keep pickin' the Les Paul (remember, I have good taste too!)
We'll miss your notes and (sick) sense of humor. Glad we at least had
one chance to meet and jam at Buck's last January.

| WHAT???????? I'm bummin' here! Well Steve, I guess it's up to me to
carry the torch for keeping Clapton bashers in line around here. ;^)'s
I'm sorry I missed you on your last trip up north, but I'm honored
to have met you and jammed with ya!
Notes won't be the same without ya Stevo and you will be missed!
When you get to your next day gig and you get your new EMAIL address,
please let us know so we can continue to harass ya! ;^)'s
I'd say good luck, but you won't need it... you'll do fine!
Rock on Dawg!

Best of luck, Steve! It's too bad I never got to hear you
play. Are you on Brian's latest tape?
Your notes always had a smiley somewhere in them and that,
as well as your high enthusiasm for our instrument will
be very much missed.
Take care!!

| Thanks guys.......!
Yes, I'm on Brian's tape but I'm not very proud of the stuff. My
playing is like some jokes...ya kinda have to be there to really
appreciate it......
If I'm ever in the Boston area again, I'll bring my axe and I have
enuff of your phone numbers to get a dawgjam together!

I don't know if any of you watch "Star Trek: The Next Generation".
If you happened to catch the last, final episode of the series, there
was a great scene at the very end where the Captain interrupts the
rest of the crew in the midst of one of their card games.
Having never "dropped in" on them before, he awkwardly sits down
to join them for a game of cards. Just as he's about to deal the cards,
he pauses to look around the table and says to them, "I should have
done this along time ago." They tell him he's always welcome.
This reminded me of last fall, when I finally got up the gumption
to come to Stormy Mondays. I don't know exactly why, but I was always
very hesitant about showing up at any DECjams. Insecure of my playing,
uncomfortable around people I don't know, not sure if you'd all turn
out to be wankers... :-) Anyway, I always avoided them, but for some
reason, I conjured up the gonads to show up last fall and introduce
myself to you fellow noters, for better or worse.
Well, guess what? I had a great time! Everyone was friendly, funny,
supportive, and it was a whole lotta fun. Like Captain Picard, I looked
at everyone and thought "I should have done this a long time ago."
A big part of the good vibes that night was the Dawg himself. Steve
really helped to make me feel comfortable, and I thank him sincerely
for doing that.
I'm genuinely sad to see you go, Steve. We're not old pals from
years gone by or anything; we only met one time, but that one time
reminded me of all the reasons why I play guitar and what makes playing
with other musicians such a wonderful, unique experience. Those of us
who participate in this conference share a special connection, and I
wish I hadn't waited so long to mett face-to-face and play. Slowly
but surely, this group is getting smaller and smaller, and I wish we
could get together more often while we're all still here.
Anyway, good luck, Steve, please keep in touch. If you make it up
north, let's get together and jam. I'll never forget that one, long
note...

Well, Steve, you know I'll be sorry to see you go. I'll miss your
humor and experience in these notes. I wish nothing but the best for
you and your family in the future!!!

so I'll be outta here as well. I wish you the best of luck, Steve,
and the same to all others who might be going through this. It's
tough out there, but there is life after DEC......
Take care!

Stevo, sorry to see you go! I've had the great pleasure to jam with
you twice and I was very impressed with your style and phrasing.
You're a player. I even forgive your playing that Strat when your Les
Paul was handy. 8-)
If you're ever up this way, feel free to give me a holler
(508.957.0499). I'll be glad to announce your arrival here.
If we're still here, that is.

Those jams were some great times and I'm a better person to have met
you guys....even the noters I have not meant face to face. I have
always attended blues jams with the headset that it matters not how
well all the players can perform....the good time lies in being
together and makin' some noise! Here's hoping we do it again!

| Well, Stevo, you told me this might happen, but I hoped it wouldn't be
so soon. On the other hand, I'm hearing rumors that my department is
in for a big shakeup, so maybe it doesn't matter.
What is there to say? You've got my phone number, and I've got yours.
Stay in touch, send me a Christmas card, if I ever get down there, etc.
I'm not worried about you, you'll do all right. It's DEC we should
worry about. Or not.
It's gonna be awful quiet in here.

| Dawg,
Indeed you will be both sincerely and sorely missed. I've always
appreciated and admired the way you've acted as a sort of social
catalyst in this file. Setting up jams, keeping the humor in hot
discussion topics, bridging a lot of gaps, etc.
I wish you the very best of luck. Please make sure I know about any
New England visits. I also have enjoyed those jams and rather than
end with a "goodbye" which I sincerely hope is unnecessary, I will
end by saying that I look forward to more Dawg jams.
I'll send you my number and address...

Oh... btw... please feel free to give my number to your daughter!

Oh, no!!! Anything but that!!!! :-) :-) :-)
On a more serious note, I agree with what previous replies have said
more eloquently than I could. At least I got to meet Steve once before
he left.

Steve,
It's the end of an era. I met you snd saw you play at the first Blind
Willey's Jam. The guys were all great, but you were outstanding on that
Strat.
Best of luck.
By the way, I'm on my way out too, after 25 years! There is life after
DEC!

Yo, Steve! So now that you're unemployed, are you gonna take the family on
a road trip.... say, up to the New England area??? 8^)
This is truly a big loss - you're even a nicer guy than you are a good guitar
player, and we'll miss you BIG-TIME! Keep in touch, and keep the faith!

Well since I live in Denmark I haven't had the chance to meet
you, Steve (and all you other guys), but you're a real guitar-
brother and I'll miss your notes - I hope the rest of us (still
fewer) can keep up the tradition...but I also hear some opti-
mism from you regarding your future, and I hope everything will
work out for ya - you can look at it as an opportunity for
CHANGE, which I myself could wish - but if you don't get
'thrown' into it, it's too easy to hesitate...
Keep pickin',

There aint to many Clapton fans left in here no more. Although I
never got to meet you personally, your sense of humour and maturity
during *flames* is one that will sorely be missed.
If you ever come to OZ there is a Beer, Bed and guitar waiting
for you.

Good luck Dawg (I don't think you'll need it though). I never had the
chance to meet you or jam with you, but my amp did (at Dave's) and speaks
very highly of you (in fact, everytime I try to play, it wants to know
when the guy with the cool hands is coming back to really give it a
workout).
I will definitely miss your notes, your comments in here have made me
laugh out loud on many occasions. Thanks.

| I just want to say that in case anyone is worried about Steve not
landing on his feet, I talked to him his last week and he said he
has one firm job offer and another possible one. So he gets time
off, the package and a fresh start. Needless to say, except for
leaving his friends here, he was a happy Dawg.
Dave

| 2939.31 | | GOES11::HOUSE | Aren't you glad I asked? | Wed Jun 15 1994 14:05 | 7 |
| That's good news. Always nice to hear the success stories.
Another friend of mine got laid off in one of the first rounds and,
although he got an incredible package, it took him almost two years to
find another job.

Just got a message from Steve... he's loose on the Internet!
Sounds like things are going okay for him. He wanted to wish
everyone well.
Here's his E-Mail address:

| Well, seeing as how we have a dozen or so "Goodbye!", "Farewell!", etc
topics, and I didn't want to create a new one, I thought I'd put this
in here. Mods, if you want to move it, or create a "life after DEC" type
note, please feel free.
No, *I'm* not leaving (at least not that I know of at this time... :-))
Whilst browsing around on rec.music.makers.bass (Internet) I found a note
from Brian Rost! His posting address shows up as
"rost@nutshell.NoSubdomain.NoDomain", but he lists the following in his
signature:
rost_brian@timeplex.com
So if anyone wants to send him mail give it a try.
Helpfully yours,
-- Sam
