Herr Fertig!
Willkommen daheim. This sounds corny now, but I thought about you regularly - your Nighthawk self-creation bass (which you bequeathed to me) is always within sight of my office desk and whenever my mind wandered, I'd think:
"What is good old John doing now, still AWOL from bass and getting oiled-up fingers from that car?" Or when I heard Mahavishnu Orchestra (which Dave still doesn't allow to be mentioned here!
). Plus whenever I play that Yamaha Attitude
your little girlie hands found uncomfortable neckwise!
I'm happy to hear you're back to your calling. That said, when we bought our Joseph-Goebbels-stepson-pre-pre-owned-bungalow and refurbished it, we would have of course bought the windows from you!
