I know Mike personally. He's a straight up guy. Heck of a harp player.
I vouch for him. He didn't mean nuthin' by it; it's clear to all now 
that Gary O. was having quite the rough time medically. Our prayers to 
you, Gary.
Where the "amp war" thing came from, I, as well as many others, haven't 
a single clue. But it's clear this thing got way outta hand way too 
fast with little or no substance to that foundation. So it's dropped.
We both attended Hummel's gig on the same night. I'll post my 
impressions later, but they mirror Mike's to a certain degree. 
Although, truth be told, I think it had more to do with the player... 
this one ain't gonna be easy. But I'll explain later.
So, having said that... y'all say "Hi" to Mike McDermott 
<Bluesreedmc@xxxxxxx>, fellow harp player and close friend up here in 
the Pac. NW.
Ray Beltran.

A few days ago I posted my opinion about the Meteor. That I  thought It

sounded "thin and didn't project well" By the way, this was my first  
post and now

regret it. My intention was not to cause irritation. It just  wasn't 
my night

to hear what this amp can do. If I had heard something  great, then I 
would've

said so. It was and is an opinion, that's all it is. I  made a bad 
first

impression. I will be more careful next time when I feel the  need to 
put my 2

cents in again. I value the many things I've been learning from  the 
list. Sonny:

It's hard to know how much, if any, my post had to do with  Sonny 
signing

off. May have been one more straw...I don't  know. Constant pain and 
surgeries

can't help either. Well, there it is.  Hope this helps.

Mike
