The tour was enjoyable, but as mentioned earlier, you would have been escorted out if you were caught using a camera. I took a few before the tour..........







They had a few basses in the store, but mostly guitars. Many thing are still done the old fashion way at this plant.......... By hand!

Rob... you need to ask such a question...? :mrgreen:
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Because he didn't feel like we do.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Perhaps he's just softly humming to that prison cell: "I'm in you ...".

To give the inmate credit where credit is due: I like Framton's voice, (most of his) songwriting and guitar playing, no he's not edgy or groundbreaking, but let's get over the Frampto Comes Alive-mania overeposure we all suffered from in the seventies. Not all is forgotten, but certainly forgiven.  :mrgreen: Live these days, he seems to be a genuinely nice man with always a good word for the guys in his band.

In his soloing today, some jazziness has crept in which I like.
