A ringing endorsement for Yamaha

A cute story from Japan.

My how the mighty have fallen. The former CEO can identify quality when it matters. Things keep going downhill for Nissan since the Renault merger.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

"Earlier reports, which Ghosn has dismissed, said he was carried out of his home in Tokyo in a double bass case."

At least Carlos didn't blame the bassist.

I've been in the case biz for over 23 years. You couldn't get me to get inside one and let someone latch it. No f'ing way!

I read a story about KISS' crew locking some pain in the ass in one of Gene's SVT cases for the duration of their set. He kept trying to unplug them or something.  ;D
